The Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies presents the 2019 Korean film Mal-Mo-E (The Secret Mission), celebrating the 579th Hangul Day (Korean Alphabet Day), as part of Korea Week and the film series Voicing Intergenerational Trauma in Postwar Korea and Japan through Contemporary Cinema.

Hayun Cho, assistant professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures, will moderate the Q&A session after the film.

ABOUT THE FILM
Imprisoned several times during the 1940s, when Korea was under Japanese occupation, Kim Pan-Soo does not know how to read or write Korean Hangul or any other language. The Imperial Japanese government bans the teaching of Korean in the schools. He meets a representative of the Korean Language Society and joins forces to publish a dictionary of the Korean language. The story is a fictional treatment of both the work of the Korean Language Society and the 1942 Korean Language Society Incident, when Japanese authorities arrested members for allegedly supporting the independence movement.

Directed by Yuna Eom

Hayun Cho, assistant professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures, will lead the discussion and Q&A after Mal Mo E.

Join us in the Miller Auditorium at Goshen Theater on November 29th, for our FREE MOVIE NIGHT showing of “Muppets Christmas Carol” at 2PM!

The Muppets perform the classic Dickens holiday tale, with Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit, the put-upon clerk of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine). Other Muppets — Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear and Sam the Eagle — weave in and out of the story, while Scrooge receives visits from spirits of three Christmases — past, present and future. They show him the error of his self-serving ways, but the miserable old man seems to be past any hope of redemption and happiness.
