Columbus (dir. Kogonada) x VIFF 2017.

[It’s] a quietly moving rumination on loneliness, mortality, and the melancholic nature of architecture. Full of artistic, intellectual flourishes, Kogonada beautifully explores the oppressive burden of family duty expressed through spaces and setting. It’s a stunning work of visual form and cinematic language using cultural identity and imagery to captivate viewers.

• Also screening at the opening gala of the 2017 Vancouver Asian Film Festival at the River Rock Casino Resort on November 2.
