People’s Cinema Club: Mary Kwon Mary Kwon

People’s Cinema Club is a weekly film series curated by Philadelphia's independent film community. 

This week’s screening:

A poet returns to her childhood home on a secluded creative retreat, determined to finish her work while uncovering the truth behind her mother’s long-unsolved disappearance. But what begins as a quiet sabbatical quickly turns unsettling as the house reveals strange, inexplicable occurrences that suggest she may not be alone—and may never have been. When two mysterious hikers arrive unexpectedly at the property, her sabbatical is broken entirely. 

Narrative Feature (2026)

Runtime: 94 min

Language: English, Korean

Dir. Josh Park

Note: Open captions are available for this screening.
