They are in the same class but have long since gone their separate ways. Gi-woong\u2019s gang is notorious for their cruel bullying of an eccentric classmate named Gi-taek. His attempts to regain their old friendship mean Yong-ju also runs the risk of becoming a target of this terrorising clan, but he refuses to give in. Instead, Yong-ju cleverly draws Gi-woong into a power game of mutual humiliation and burgeoning memories which triggers a dangerous emotional duel. The director of last year\u2019s Panorama film WHITE NIGHT has chosen anonymous and abandoned urban spaces in which to depict the emotional turmoil gripping the two schoolboys.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"lightbox\" title=\"YA GAN BI HAENG\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Ya_Gan_Bi_Haeng_2-e1391438186554.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-505\" title=\"YA GAN BI HAENG\" alt=\"Ya_Gan_Bi_Haeng_2\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Ya_Gan_Bi_Haeng_2-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"lightbox\" title=\"YA GAN BI HAENG\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Ya_Gan_Bi_Haeng_1-e1391438194331.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-504\" title=\"YA GAN BI HAENG\" alt=\"Ya_Gan_Bi_Haeng_1\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Ya_Gan_Bi_Haeng_1-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>Cinestar, 8.15pm<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/news.teddyaward.tv\/en\/video\/?a-z=1&amp;select=P&amp;id_film=543\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>PAPILIO BUDDHA<\/strong><\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<em>(Papilio Buddha)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fdb2UfHRv6Q\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Shankaran discovers a rare butterfly, the Papilio Buddha, which is only found in the Western Ghats in India. It is a near perfect moment for him and his gay friend, Jack. The American accompanies Shankaran home where he witnesses an argument between Shankaran and his father which he fails to understand. His father is the leader of a group of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dalit\" target=\"_blank\">Dalits<\/a>, or low caste \u2018untouchables\u2019 who are engaged in a brutal struggle for land rights in many places in India. Although their rights have been enshrined in the constitution since independence, the police regard Dalits as terrorists. Shankaran is put behind bars and Jack is soon expelled from the country on account of his association with him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"lightbox\" title=\"PAPILIO BUDDHA\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Papilio_Buddha_1-e1391437235938.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-560\" title=\"PAPILIO BUDDHA\" alt=\"Papilio_Buddha_1\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Papilio_Buddha_1-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"lightbox\" title=\"PAPILIO BUDDHA\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Papilio_Buddha_2-e1391437629125.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-540\" title=\"PAPILIO BUDDHA\" alt=\"Papilio_Buddha_2\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Papilio_Buddha_2-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>Cinestar, 10.00pm<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/news.teddyaward.tv\/en\/video\/?a-z=1&amp;select=Y&amp;id_film=571\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>YE<\/strong><\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<em>(The Night)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a class=\"lightbox\" title=\"YE\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Ye_1-e1391438180489.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-506\" title=\"YE\" alt=\"Ye_1\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Ye_1-1024x682.jpg\" width=\"474\" height=\"315\" \/><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A young man stands in front of a mirror. Every evening, he appraises his appearance, attired in a new shirt, leaves his apartment and waits in a poorly lit alleyway for his johns. One night he meets a female prostitute of his age who\u2019s new in this part of town. They flirt and wander the streets and name themselves after flowers: he calls himself Tuberose and she, Narcissus. The strangers they follow remain faceless \u2013 until Rose, a one-night stand, falls in love with Tuberose. In his visually impressive, sensual debut film in which he also plays the leading role this 21-year-old director demonstrates all the poetic intensity of a Jean Genet in describing these three misfits\u2019 mute search for intimacy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><a class=\"lightbox\" title=\"YE\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Ye_2-e1391438173497.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-507 aligncenter\" title=\"YE\" alt=\"Ye_2\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Ye_2-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>Cinestar 7, 10.30pm<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/news.teddyaward.tv\/en\/video\/?a-z=1&amp;select=D&amp;id_film=569\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>DER SAMURAI<\/strong><\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<em>(The Samurai)<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a class=\"lightbox\" title=\"DER SAMURAI\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Der_Samurai_1-e1391437249393.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-559\" title=\"DER SAMURAI\" alt=\"Der SamuraiRegie: Till KleinertDeutschland 2013Caption: Pit Bukowski\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Der_Samurai_1-1024x685.jpg\" width=\"474\" height=\"317\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">People in the Brandenburg countryside are scared of wolves. But once this night is over people will wish it had just been a wolf that had come to haunt them. Instead, a nightmare in the shape of a nameless stranger with a samurai sword appears at the edge of the forest and leaves a trail of destruction in the village. For young local police officer Jakob the encounter with the warrior forces him to confront his own demons and face long-buried aspects of his personality. The more doggedly Jakob tries to maintain his moral armour and uphold his sense of law and order against the onslaught of the irrational, the more irresistible becomes his secret urge to accept his opponent\u2019s gift.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a class=\"lightbox\" title=\"DER SAMURAI\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Der_Samurai_2-e1391437949195.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-520\" title=\"DER SAMURAI\" alt=\"Der_Samurai_2\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Der_Samurai_2-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 <a class=\"lightbox\" title=\"Till Kleinert\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Der_Samurai_7-e1391437938359.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-521\" title=\"Till Kleinert\" alt=\"Der_Samurai_7\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Der_Samurai_7-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>Cinemaxx 1, 11.00pm<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good health!
