SLATE (Live-action)
A new film by Jo Ba-reun starring action sensation Ahn Ji-hye!.

When Yeon-hee rescues some villagers, she
is immediately heralded as the protector of the village. To keep the village safe, Yeon- hee is forced to face a never ending onslaught of attacks and villains! Will she ever escape this relentless violent alternate reality for the much safer cinematic world? (100 mins.)
GANG (Live-action)
After getting into serious trouble, Choi Ji-hoon is transferred to Daehoon High, renowned as the worst school in Korea. Ji-hoon’s goal is simple: he wants to become the top dog of the new school’s gang. Attending his first class, Choi gets into everyone’s face and tries to pick a fight but there are no takers. When the
school bell rings and everyone leaves for the day, Ji-hoon follows Yong-sik for some
illegal, after-school extracurricular activities. They descend into a basement where a local fight club is in progress. The only rule of the club is that whoever wins becomes the top dog for the year. This is the big break Choi has been waiting for. Will he fight his way up to top dog status? (94 mins)
