During the Silent Film Era in Korea, movie screenings were accompanied by live music and narrators called "byeonsa." Korean Film Archive and director Tae-yong Kim have restored this theatrical experience with live musical accompaniment. This special screening of Crossroads of Youth invites you to experience the film just as Korean audiences did when it was premiered in 1934. For more information about this event, click here.
