Special Screening Commemorating the 70th Anniversary of ROK-U.S. Alliance

In commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the ROK-U.S. alliance, the CinemathequeKOFA unveils for the first time the 4K restoration of Lee Man-hee's seminal Korean War classic The Marines Who Never Returned. Accompanying the screening will be lectures that explore the representation of the Korean War and its participants within the film and the hidden history of the film's theatrical distribution in the U.S. Also screening is the international version of The Marines Who Never Returned (retitled Marine Battleground), which features 16 min of footage shot during the original production but can no longer be found in the existing Korean version.
