For the first time in Nagaland, a Korean Film Festival is being organized by the Arirang TV Fan Club of Nagaland on February 14 at 4 pm at 'The Heritage,' Old DC's Bungalow, Kohima.
Speaking to the local press Arirang TV Fan Club, president, Theja Meru said that Arirang TV, which covers 188 countries, as an important and effective medium, said that building ties with Koreans was a significant opportunity to expose and promote Nagaland in the international level. He asserted that Korea, being a developed nation which promotes culture, value, music, was a nation worth emulating. Realizing the little chance of Nagas in Indian music industry, the club also stated that Naga musicians can be well promoted in Korea, keeping in mind the cultural affinities and similarities of the two nations.
True to its motto "For those who love the finer things in life", the Arirang TV Fan Club has a bunch of fine things to offer. The Korean Film Festival will broadcast three Korean movies: The Way Home, Warriors, Love Traces, and also the Hornbill Festival Episode that was aired on Arirang TV. The festival will feature musical extravaganza from Pirong J, Kimneihoi and Audio Essence, and also give out free gifts sponsored by Gravity and Unitex. The club will also launch 'Sync', a Korean Language Club to be directed by Kusalu, general secretary of Arirang TV Fan Club. The class is open to all, and will be taken every Friday at 2 pm at Dream Café after its launch on February 14.
Theja Meru further informed that membership of the fan club was open to all, with a registration fee of Rs. 50. He also informed the already registered members to re-register again to get ID card of the fan club which can give them access to events organized by the club or receive materials free of cost from Arirang TV. The sponsors for the Korean Film Festival include Nagaland University, Department of Information and Publicity, Reliance Life Insurance, Dream Cafe, Gravity, Unitex, LifePro Events, Limelite, YouthNet, Colors Magazine, LifePro Sound.
