The 2010 New York Korean Film Festival featured eight films in a collaborative effort with the Museum of Modern Art and the Brooklyn Academy of Music Rose Cinema. Like previous festivals, the 2010 New York Korean Film Festival screened contemporary Korean films and also featured panel discussions with directors and other icons of Korean Cinema. The festival lasted from September 22, 2010 to October 3, 2010. Ranging from action to comedy, sci-fi to horror, to genre-bending altogether, this year's films represented not only Korea's top box-office hits but also some of the industry's most creative and substantial movies to date.
