Opening Aug. 6th at Indiespace in Seoul’s Myeong-dong, neighbourhood Yeo Myung-jun’s “The Code of the Duel” an independent thriller about contemporary Korean society with a twist, sword fights are legal. Starting Aug. 20th you can see Kim Tae-gon’s “The Pot” (also playing at Sangsang Madang an independent horror film about a family that moves to Seoul after inheriting a large amount of money only to find their new Christian neighbor is eerily obsessed with their daughter. Neither films are subtitles in English but something tells me that they aren’t dialog driven and they aren’t likely to get big distribution. Check the schedule for show times.

Also playing at Indiespace and Daegu Cinemathegue (with English subtitles) is the controversial Japanese film “Yasukuni” about a shrine built on the site where swords used to kill Chinese soldiers were famously forged.

Indiespace is located on the 3rd floor of the Joong Ang Cinema. Membership is w50000 for adults and w30000 for student and gets you 50% off the ticket price and access to the film archive on the second floor of the building.

The theatre is also affiliated with the Independant Film Distribution Support Centre where you can buy DVDs of independent Korean films as well as book and other film related stuff.
