The Oscar-nominated short films will play in Pittsburgh theaters from February 1, and the short film documentary category includes In the Absence (부재의 기억) on the 2014 Sewon ferry disaster.
When the MV Sewol ferry sank off the coast of South Korea in 2014, over three hundred people lost their lives, most of them schoolchildren. Years later, the victims’ families and survivors are still demanding justice from national authorities.
It plays at the Harris Theater from February 1 through February 12, at the Cinemark theaters in the North Hills and Robinson from February 3 through 9, and at the Row House Cinema in Lawrenceville on February 1, 3, 4, and 5.
