Last night I was searching for a specific movie. I went searching for streaming services like Amazon, Mubi and so on, but there was nowhere to be found! Then I searched for a DVD and again I found nothing. Finally, I went through all the pirate sites that I already knew, and typed “Winter in Sokcho 2024”. I went on searching for about 30 minutes. A movie would come up, but the movie didn’t exist at all.
At that point, I realized that I might be the only person who wanted to watch this movie.
Then I asked myself, how many movies are lost like this? Maybe a copy exists somewhere forgotten, yet nowhere to be found. It was played in cinemas for some time though.
Have you ever come at this point? I will go with the book for now, the only thing that exits.
According to IMDb, the film was released in January this year (despite being a “2024” film), but this could well have been a festival release and not a general one, which is usually how it goes. Are you sure the film just hasn’t been released commercially yet?
That’s a good question, which I don’t know. Panron pointed out that still being played in festivals.
The only thing I know and remember, is that was played last year. Nothing more.
