Hello all! 

C-WIF is excited to invite you to our first Film Film Society screening of the year.As many of you know, last year C-WIF launched its very own Film Society with support of the film division to ensure that the work of women directors is shown at Columbia on a regular basis. Every month a student or professor from the film division will curate a screening of a film directed by a woman and each screening will be followed by a discussion. It’s a great opportunityto watch and discuss films withour peers in a laid-back and fun atmosphere. 

Our first film this semester is ‘Take Care of My Cat’, a coming-of-age story from South Korea directed by Jeong Jae-eun. Thescreening is this Friday, November 14 at 3:30pm in room 511. Maggie Greenwald will be leading the discussion afterwards and Korean snacks will be provided!

‘Take Care of My Cat’chronicles the lives of a group of friends — five young women — a year after they graduate from high school, showing the  heartbreaking changes and inspiring difficulties they face in both their friendships and the working world. 

Though critically acclaimed in its native South Korea, the film’s box office returns were not so great, prompting a ‘Save the Cat’ movement involving film-industry professionals to try to increase viewership before its theatrical run would be cut short. The film went on to many international film festivals as well, where it received awards and special mentions. 

Please come support this fantastic female director and join us for a fun evening! This event is open to the entire division and we really encourage you all to come and bring your friends! 

Hope to see you all there!

"Jae-eun Jeong’s Take Care of My Cat brings a beguiling freshness to a coming-of-age story with such a buoyant, expressive flow of images that it emerges as another key contribution to the flowering of the South Korean cinema." 
-Kevin Thomas, Los Angels Times 

"The problems and characters it reveals are universal and involving, and the film itself — as well its delightful cast — is so breezy, pretty and gifted, it really won my heart." 
-Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
