As MAiFF’s 13th Edition continues, we are proud to present Manok by Yu-Jin Lee — a bold and deeply human feature debut following a woman who returns home after loss, only to confront the prejudice, exclusion, and expectations that once tried to define her. Instead of shrinking herself, Manok enters the race to become the village chief.Blending humor, grief, resistance, and queer selfhood, Manok becomes a radiant portrait of what it means to stand fully as oneself, even in the face of hostility.Director Yu-Jin Lee has previously screened acclaimed works at festivals including Busan International Film Festival and BFI Flare: London LGBTQIA+ Film Festival, with Manok marking an exciting new chapter as their feature film debut.Cinema du ParcMay 295:00 PM
