From September 19 until September 20, the Korean Cultural Center of Brussels and Bozar collaborated to organize the Korean Documentary Showcase.

Through these films that deal with gentrification, division, and relationships, the audience got to to know Korea better and discovered the charm of Korean documentaries. 

After each screening, a lively Q&A session was held through Zoom with the director of the documentary and Livia Tinca, programmer for Millenium Documentary Film Festival.
