Lee Joon-ik

[Director]

Perhaps “The King and the Clown” is his most well-known film, and deservedly so. However, Lee Joon-ik always manages to display his amazing film directing talents in whatever project he chooses. Lee has much praise for films as diverse as “The Happy Life”, “Blades of Blood”, “Radio Star”, “Once Upon a time in the Battlefield” and its follow-up, “Battlefield Heroes”.

Let’s give Lee Joon-Ik a “Sunny” smile and welcome him to the interview hot-seat.

Ultimately, what occurred was a group interview rather than a one-on-one chat. With this in mind please join me in giving thanks to the following:

After the film itself followed an interesting Q & A session with the hugely knowledgable Dr Colette Bailman, marvellous translator, Sae and the audience. Next? In the foyer there was banter, photos, autographs and more.

Earlier in 2012, another film, “Always” [by Song Il-gon] marked the 100th film night from the lovely guys over at the Korean Cultural Centre, London.

Photos of that evening can be found here – including ones of the 100th Film Night cake! – so please enjoy looking at them:

Please join me in congratulating this Korean Cultural Centre on reaching this number [and since taking this number even higher], & therefore marking a seminal point in the job they do to promote or re-ignite peoples’ love for Korean film-making.
