If you arrive in Columbus early for the AAS Annual Meeting, which begins late Thursday afternoon, please join us for a free pre-conference film screening event co-sponsored by CKS, KPRP, and IKS. We will show three films that highlight Korea’s performance culture: a musical animation by director Ahn Jaehuun, The Shaman Sorceress (무녀도), a staged reading of playwright Kim Eunsung’s Sister Mok-Rahn (목란언니) translated into English, and a short documentary film about the Korea National Contemporary Dance Company’s performance, Listen to Your Body. Here is the screening schedule:

11:00 – 12:30   The Shaman Sorceress
12:30 – 1:00      Listen to Your Body
1:00 – 1:30        Sister Mok-Rahn
1:30 – 3:00        The Shaman Sorceress
3:00 – 3:30        Listen to Your Body

Columbus Metropolitan Library Northside Branch is about a 25-minute walk/6-minute bus ride from the Greater Columbus Convention Center. No registration is required, and you may join any time during the event. Let us get together and celebrate the vibrant performing arts from Korea!
