The Korean Cultural Centre Canada is delighted to announce an in-person K-Cinema Screening of <Assassination> (2015) in celebration of 2026, designated by UNESCO as the year marking the 150th anniversary of Kim Koo's birth (1876–1949). 

Kim Koo was a key figure in Korea’s independence movement and president of the Korean Provisional  Government.  After  1945, he  uniquely  advocated  for  national  development  through culture  rather  than military  or  economic  strength.  In  his  1947  work,  My  Wish,  he  emphasized culture’s power to bring happiness and foster global peace. His vision remains a foundational call for a humane and culturally rich Korea (Celebration of Anniversaries, UNESCO)

*About <Assassination> (2015)

1933. Korea is under Japanese colonial rule.

The Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea assembles a secret assassination team made up of three operatives whose identities remain unknown to the Japanese authorities: elite sniper Ahn Ok-yun, sharpshooter Sok Sa-po, a graduate of the Shinheung Military Academy, and explosives expert Hwang Deok-sam. Entrusted by Kim Koo, Captain Yeom Seok-jin of the Provisional Government's Security Bureau sets out to locate them and launch the mission.

Their targets are General Kawaguchi Mamoru, commander of the Japanese forces stationed in Korea, and Kang In-guk, a prominent Korean collaborator. Meanwhile, a mysterious client hires the notorious contract killer Hawaii Pistol to hunt down the assassination team.

As competing forces close in, the fate of everyone involved in the high-stakes mission becomes increasingly unpredictable.
