About Cinetopia:DOC presents KIM’S VIDEO + Q&A
March's Cinetopia: DOC Club serve is Kim's Video!
For two decades in New York City, Kim’s Video was the go-to video rental store for any cinephile in the city. Originally run by the enigmatic Yongman Kim out of his dry-cleaning business, Mr. Kim amassed a collection of over 55,000 rentals in stores across NYC, and their knowledgeable clerks were your gateway into a treasure trove of rare and esoteric films. That is, until 2008, when Mr. Kim decided to close Kim’s Video and give away his collection to a town in Sicily, Selemi, that promised to take care of it and make the videos available to any previous Kim’s Video members. But when once such member, filmmaker David Redmon, arrived, the presence of Kim’s videos were mysteriously missing.
This playful documentary embraces various filmic forms, from cine-essay and investigative nonfiction to experimental cinema and even heist movies, as it embarks on a quixotic quest to track down what happened to the legendary collection and free it from purgatory.
The co-directors of KIMS VIDEO, Ashley Sabin and David Redmon, will be joining for an in-person Q&A after the screening. As always with Cinetopia:DOC, we’ll leave time for more discussion and networking after in the Cameo Bar.
