Hwang Il-yong, Director of the Korean Cultural Centre India, said, "Habitat International Film Festival is one of those few events in New Delhi where you can enjoy art films. In particular, this year, in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the opening of the Korean Cultural Centre, we think it is a great honour to be able to screen 5 Korean films at this prestigious Film Festival. Just as Korean Wave content resonated greatly in India, we hope that, through this event the audiences would be able to appreciate the artistic values of these independent films."
A total of 50 films from more than 20 countries will be screened at the Habitat International Film Festival 2022. Detailed schedule and information can be found on the India Habitat Centre website (https://www.indiahabitat.org/), Korean Cultural Centre India’s homepage and social media.
