KAFFNY is a one-day New York showcase screening works by emerging and established Korean filmmakers and performers. We are the event that brought you Benson Lee’s “Planet B-Boy,” Juwan Chung’s “Baby,” and short works by Dennis Lee and Randall Park.

5.8 million people of ethnic Korean descent have immigrated from Korea to all parts of the world. “Are there new, emerging filmmakers amongst those millions of the Korean Diaspora?,” we asked ourselves. There must be. So, new to KAFFNY 2009, we want to show our New York audience films that express the points of view of filmmakers / performers of ethnic Korean descent from around the world - to see what and how they see the world around them.
