CINETOPIA: DOC presents: KIM'S VIDEO! A must-see for video store nerds, physical media lovers and movie buffs!🍿 Please note: to take part in the MYSTERY VIDEO SWAP BOX please arrive 20 minutes before the screening. Bring a DVD or Video from your collection at home, pop it in the swap box, and lucky dip for a surprise one to take home! 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 - frequented by Jim Jarmusch, Quentin Tarantino, and the Coen Bros. 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.” 📼 Cinetopia connects the film community.
