Kim’s Video follows modern-day cinephile and filmmaker, David Redmon, on a seemingly quixotic quest to track down the whereabouts of the massive video collection of the now-defunct Kim’s Video, an iconic NYC video rental store with more than 55,000 beloved and rare movies.
Playing with the forms and tropes of cinema, David’s bizarre and increasingly obsessive quest takes him to Sicily, where he becomes entangled in a web of local politics, and to South Korea, where he tracks down the enigmatic Mr. Kim in the hope of influencing the collection’s future.
An ode to the love of cinema, this film will strike a chord with anyone who has ever rented a movie.
Mystery Video Swap Box
In the spirit of Kim's Video, we'll also be hosting a Mystery Video Swap Box on the day! The concept is very simple, bring down any VHS tapes or DVD/Blu-rays you'd be down for swapping, arrive around 30-45 mins before the screening, pop them in the box, and then have a swap/chat with your fellow film fans!
