The Korean Film Archive announced on April 17 that it will hold the special exhibition "Hong Sang-soo Retrospective: Introduction" at Cinematheque KOFA from May 2 to June 13 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of director Hong Sang-soo's debut.

A total of 34 films will be screened over six weeks, ranging from his 1996 debut film "The Day a Pig Fell into the Well" to "The Day She Came Back," which is scheduled for release on June 6. Each film will be screened twice. The first screening will take place in Theater 1, presenting the films in chronological order from his debut to his latest work. The second screening will be held in Theater 2, showing the films in reverse order from his latest work back to his debut. The Korean Film Archive explained, "We applied the director's signature 'variation' aesthetics to the screening method as well."

Related events will include a conversation featuring Haden Guest, Director of the Harvard Film Archive, and director Kim Hongjun; a master class by cinematographer Park Hongyeol; and a Q&A session (GV) with the cast of "The Day She Came Back."
