Major South Korean Theater Abruptly Cancels Human Rights Film Festival Bookings
On the eve of the 5th Seoul Larkspur International Film Festival ( The abrupt decision came from MEGABOX Dongdaemun, the official screening venue of SLIFF, one day before the festival's opening on May 30, affecting multiple films documenting the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) human rights abuses. Organizers said they were shocked, and filmmakers said they were outraged. 'This is the first time I've seen something like this happen in Korea,' said Heo Eun-doh, SLIFF's general director and chief curator. 'A theater unilaterally canceling international human rights films—there's no question this was due to external pressure.' MEGABOX is one of Korea's largest theater chains, with more than 100 locations nationwide. According to the SLIFF organizers, they had provided all the materials to the Dongdaemun branch, had signed a contract, and had paid the full rental fee upon the approval that had been stamped by MEGABOX headquarters. Heo told The Epoch Times that his team had been monitoring ticket sales and had found that everything suddenly vanished. 'When we called, they told us, 'We don't support festivals with political nature,'' he said. Related Stories 5/30/2025 5/30/2025 Ticket sales for the festival began just the night before, on May 28, and some showings—including the May 31 screening of ' 'State Organs,' a 76-minute documentary produced by Peabody Award-winner Raymond Zhang, follows the perilous search of two families for their missing loved ones in China, according to the film's synopsis, revealing evidence of state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting, a practice unique to China that involves the killing of the organ donor. Zhang spent Zhang refuted the political allegations by the Megabox theater. 'This is not a political film—it addresses universal values such as humanity and human rights,' he said. 'I believe the sudden cancellation in Korea was driven by interference from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). When the film was screened in Taiwan, I received over a hundred threatening emails and messages and was targeted by pro-CCP cyberattacks. I didn't expect similar tactics to appear in South Korea.' Threats of mass shootings, bomb detonations, and systematic hacking were Other films affected by the last-minute cancellation include ' Despite the setback, Zhang emphasized his belief in South Korean society. 'I still believe Korea is a free and democratic country, and its citizens won't be swayed by this kind of pressure,' he said. 'Violation of Artistic and Expressive Freedom' SLIFF is the only film festival in South Korea dedicated to global human rights issues, according to Heo. He said that he and his team had spent a whole year preparing for the film festival, and described the last-minute cancellation as a devastating blow to the festival and a serious violation of free expression, attributing the cancellation to outside political pressure. 'This was not an internal decision. This was a forced shutdown—clearly influenced by external forces. It's a serious violation of artistic and expressive freedom,' Heo said. He said that what is happening now in South Korea is similar to what happened in Hong Kong in 2019, as depicted in 'Revolution of Our Times.' He said this documentary on Hong Kong's democracy movement serves as an example of why these films matter. 'No one has the right to strip away artistic or expressive freedom. And I believe the Korean public understands that. Think about it—a theater unilaterally labeling international human rights films as 'political' and pulling them while tickets are still on sale? There's no way this came from Koreans themselves,' he said. Heo pledged to keep fighting. 'We will not be silenced. We will not back down. We will stand firm, and in the end, we believe justice will prevail,' he said. 'If we remain silent in the face of this kind of censorship, we're not just giving up on art—we're giving up on democracy itself. This cannot be brushed aside. We will make sure the truth is known throughout South Korea and call on people to stand with us. That is our unwavering position.' The film festival organizers have managed to screen 'State Organs' for one listing in KBS Hall, Seoul, on May 30. The documentary has screened in the United States, Japan, and Taiwan, and is The Epoch Times reached out to the Megabox Dongdaemun branch, but the call was not answered.

‘The Blue Kite': A Quiet Defiance of Communism
Why are many drawn to communist-socialism like ? An official from the Victims of Communism memorial once attributed it to dishonesty in pop culture. So, it's fitting that 'The Blue Kite' (1993), a long-forgotten film and a symbol of a more enlightened pop culture, offers a gentle counterpoint. It contends that young minds, nurtured by virtuous parents, can resist the hypnotic lure of communism. Director Tian Zhuangzhuang tells his coming-of-age story through the eyes of a little boy, Tietou, growing from toddler to teenager in 1950s and 1960s Beijing. Instead of the state's overt totalitarian violence, the film dwells on its covert assaults on marriage, family, parenthood, and childhood. Tian Zhuangzhuang directed a perceptive film about Chinese communism: "The Blue Kite." Bryan Chan/CC BY-SA 2.0 The film shows how ordinary people can, often overnight, turn into foot soldiers in the service of tyranny, especially when self-interest turns them against each other. 'The Blue Kite' tells the story through courtships, weddings, and deaths. The film shows little Tietou buffeted by tumultuous change. Amid that whirlwind stands his soft-spoken, diminutive mother, Chen Shujuan (Lu Liping), quietly defying loneliness, betrayal, and forced labor. It's her dignified heroism that ultimately prevents Tietou from morphing into just another foot soldier. A forgotten film by a Chinese gives the real story of the evil of communism in China, in "The Blue Kite." 1000 Words/Shutterstock Zhuangzhuang's film is about growing up. Perhaps only virtuous parents can bring up virtuous children. Unless those children stay virtuous as teenagers, they'll eventually marry as irresponsible young adults and establish homes that break the virtuous cycle. In the latter half of the film, the angst of adolescence threatens to engulf a sullen and sulking Tietou. That's when the beloved nursery rhyme that he'd unthinkingly recited for years as a toddler, subconsciously weaves its charm on the now restless teenager. Crow, crow to me calls, crow is truly old. Crow is old and cannot fly, to the young crow cries. Young crow every morning brings food back, bringing food back first comes [and] feeds mother. Mother before fed me [well]. Willful as a child, the grown up Tietou senses that his mother has been teaching him to distinguish his true family from the false family of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which seeks to claim him as their own. He sees how the CCP betrays its schizophrenic, duplicitous essence; it depicts revolution as both a solution and a threat, cracking down on 'counterrevolutionaries' without a trace of irony. Related Stories 5/11/2025 5/7/2025 CCP cadres sow suspicion and hostility among and between families, then wait for a harvest of hate. Some cadres tease families and friends into inadvertently criticizing the CCP. Cadres pretend to be critics themselves. They angle for that unguarded joke at the dinner table, or that stray comment at the kitchen sink that'll expose scrupulously hidden loyalties. The Great Leap Forward The film doesn't show the infamous denunciation boxes that enabled citizens to secretly report families they suspected of being underground counterrevolutionaries (or sudan). It does show how thought reform (or szuhsiang kaitso) threw a supposedly invisible cloak of terror over millions of homes. Here, the flying kite is a motif for renewal and hope. It's reminiscent of Albert Lamorisse's flying balloon in his film, ' A little boy's (Pascal Lamorisse) adventures with a red balloon, in 'The Red Balloon.' Films Montsouris Metaphorically speaking, even if a gust of wind shreds one of his kites, Tietou's kite-making skills imparted by his father enable him to keep making and flying 'new' kites. One character's failing eyesight is a metaphor for moral clarity that the CCP tries to distort. That character, young Shusheng (Ping Zong), tells his girlfriend that his illness will first enforce a narrower field of vision, before distorting his vision altogether. He jokes that he'll be able to see her more clearly, even as everything else may dim. CCP cadres announce allegedly soothing instructions to the public. They reassure everyone that Chairman Mao's 'guiding principles' may well be political, but 'like a mild rain,' they also cleanse thoughts. Some citizens are too dumbstruck to realize that surrender of their property under the guise of 'collectivization' amounts to a surrender of their personhood.

South Korea Court Rules to Allow Shen Yun Perform After Theater Caved to CCP Pressure
A South Korean court has ruled to allow Shen Yun Performing Arts to continue a planned two-day performance amid Beijing's disruption efforts, handing a win to the group that has, for years, been a target of the regime's global repression efforts. The hosting venue, Kangwon National University, greenlit the New York classical Chinese dance company's application to perform at its Baekryeong Art Center on April 1, only to walk back on the agreement after the Chinese embassy voiced a complaint. The university stated that its decision to cancel the show had to do with the public interests of the school. As the university is a national institution under the country's Ministry of Education, it's in a position to 'directly and indirectly represent the official position of the Republic of Korea,' thereby escalating the matter into a 'diplomatic issue,' stated a letter from the university, obtained by The Epoch Times. The center further said they made the decision out of public interest concerns, citing the roughly 500 Chinese-national students studying at the center who it claimed could stage protests, potentially leading to clashes, should the performance go on as scheduled. The Chuncheon District Court on April 30 sided with the show presenter, describing the university's contract cancellation as an 'abuse of discretionary power.' Shen Yun, the court noted, has Related Stories 4/11/2025 4/18/2025 With no solid evidence backing its claims, the school's stated concerns about potential clashes are vague and difficult to justify, the court said in the judgement, calling the decision 'illegal.' It further noted that the cancellation happened just 20 days ahead of the scheduled performance on May 6 and 7, with nearly two-thirds of the tickets sold. Calling off the performance at this point would make it hard for the show organizers to recover their financial and reputational damage, the judge said. The ruling marks a breakthrough for Shen Yun in South Korea, which has faced Shen Yun tours all over the world—but it cannot perform in China. Founded in 2006 in part by artists who fled Chinese Communist Party (CCP) repression, Shen Yun has grown, over the nearly two past decades, into eight companies of equal size that tour globally with a live orchestra each year. The group showcases classical Chinese dance under the tagline 'China before communism,' with some pieces also featuring stories of the CCP's persecution targeting Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline that has suffered an extensive persecution campaign in China over the past 26 years. Chinese diplomats and people believed to be linked with them have used political and economic coercion to undermine Shen Yun's global performances. The nonprofit group, Falun Dafa Information Center, has documented over 130 such instances over the years. Recently, the campaign appears to have intensified into a more disturbing form. In just over a year, the arts group has reported Ahead of the second day of Shen Yun's run at the Baekryeong Art Center, Shen Yun's emcee Leeshai Lemish, who has tracked these incidents for years, said he was heartened to see 'a South Korean court upholding the country's law and pushing back against CCP pressure.' 'CCP transnational repression is rampant worldwide but in South Korea, it has an especially long and well-documented history of But the court ruling shows that 'the CCP can only succeed if it can co-opt local governments, courts, and theaters' to follow its command, he added. 'When individuals stand firm and do what they believe is right, as we see now in South Korea, the CCP is powerless to do anything.' He sees it as a 'wonderful sign that Korean people have had enough of Beijing telling them what art they can and cannot watch.' Shen Yun Performing Arts World Company's curtain call at the Gumi Arts Center–Grand Hall in Gumi, South Korea, on Feb. 8, 2023. Kim Guk-hwan/The Epoch Times Lemish recalled a similar incident in 2016 at the Baekryeong Art Center, after canceling the show, apologized and said they weren't acting on their own volition. 'We tried our best, but the school and the Ministry of Education insisted on cancellation, so we had no choice but to cancel,' a staffer had told Shen Yun presenters, according to an email copy The Epoch Times reviewed. Lemish noted how repeatedly, South Korean government-affiliated entities and theaters have acknowledged Beijing's intervention but cited public interests to make the case for giving in to the Chinese communist regime. 'I think what we're seeing now is more and more people in South Korea and around the world realizing that the CCP's interests do not align with theirs at all, and that they need to protect their own rights and freedoms in the face of CCP pressure,' he said. 'I think as a bonus, they also find that they feel good doing that.'
