The Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies presents the 2019 Korean film Mal-Mo-E (The Secret Mission), celebrating the 579th Hangul Day (Korean Alphabet Day), as part of Korea Week and the film series Voicing Intergenerational Trauma in Postwar Korea and Japan through Contemporary Cinema. Hayun Cho, assistant professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures, will moderate the Q&A session after the film. About the Film Imprisoned several times during the 1940s, when Korea was under Japanese occupation, Kim Pan-Soo does not know how to read or write Korean Hangul or any other language. The Imperial Japanese government bans the teaching of Korean in the schools. He meets a representative of the Korean Language Society and joins forces to publish a dictionary of the Korean language. The story is a fictional treatment of both the work of the Korean Language Society and the 1942 Korean Language Society Incident, when Japanese authorities arrested members for allegedly supporting the independence movement. 135 minutes | PG-13 RatingDirected by Yuna EomKorean and Japanese with English subtitles Hayun Cho, assistant professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures, will lead the discussion and Q&A after Mal Mo E. Tickets Tickets are $4-7 for the general public and are free for ND, SMC, HC, and IUSB students. Contact the box office at 574-631-2800 or visit performingarts.nd.edu.
