Mexican Movie Festival at Gwangju Theater, September 24th - 30th.



Gwangju Theater (광주극장) will host a Mexican Movie Festival (멕시코영화제) from September 24th through the 30th. It won't be a "festival" the way your thinking, but will be a block of Mexican movies. The ones they're showing are:
* Bella
* La ley de Herodes / Herod's Law
* Cicatrices / Scars
* La Misma Luna / Under the Same Moon
* Propiedad ajena / Land of Another
* 40 Dias / 40 Days

Showtimes available here. The theater has recently held festivals for Spanish and Japanese films, and routinely shows foreign and Korean movies new and old.

Gwangju Theater is one of several old theaters in Gwangju, but as far as I know is the only one still in operation. It seats 854, but when I saw a Japanese movie in July there were fewer than ten people there.
