The 2024 film Winter in Sokcho will play in Pittsburgh on September 25, part of the SCREENSHOT: Asia Film Festival.
In Sokcho, a small seaside village in South Korea, a young woman, Soo-Ha (Bella Kim), lives in a bit of a rut, rhythmed by visits to her mother, a fishmonger, and her relationship with her boyfriend, Jun-Ho (Gong Doyu). When a French man named Yan Kerrand (Roschdy Zem) arrives in the boarding house where Soo-Ha works, it awakens within her questions about her own identity, and that of her French father, about whom she knows almost nothing. As winter settles over the town, Soo-Ha and Kerrand will observe and gauge each other, trying to communicate any way they can – through cooking for one and drawing for the other – delicately weaving a fragile bond between them.Tickets are free for those with a Pitt ID card---registration and promo code required---and $11 for everyone else. The movie begins at 6:00 pm at the Harris Theaer in downtown's Cultural District (map).
