The Korean Film Festival returns to Australia (KOFFIA) this year for its 7th edition – bigger and better than ever! Over the course of two months, the Festival will make its rounds in 6 different cities and bring an absolutely stellar list of award-winning Korean films to film buffs and lovers of the Korean culture country-wide.
