**NEXT SOHEE SCREENING CANCELLED** DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SCREENING OF NEXT SOHEE WILL NOT BE TAKING PLACE.  APOLOGIES FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE CAUSED.

South Korean writer-director July Jung’s second feature following A GIRL AT MY DOOR (2014) is a powerful, brilliantly acted psychological drama inspired by real life events.

Cheerful, dance-loving high school student Sohee (Kim Si-eun) starts an internship at a call centre. The job soon turns out to be highly demanding and Sohee finds herself disillusioned and struggling to the point where she can’t take it. When detective Oh Yu-jin (Bae Doo-na) investigates her death, she unravels Sohee’s past and the twisted, deeply toxic and exploitative reality of the job market in South Korea – referred to as a “management of terror” by employees, authorities and the education system alike.

With sobriety and precision director July Jung depicts a chilling and condensed contemporary portrait of youth exploited by unpaid internships.

Winner of Special Jury Prize at TOKYO FILMeX; Closing Film, Cannes Critics Week 2022

There’s a real sense of fury behind this film...NEXT SOHEE speaks for people who do not have a voice, and it does so eloquently.
