Miami Connection - Film Screening
Hosted By Leith Kino"He's in there every night with his damn... gang, selling that stupid cocaine" Miami. 1987. The streets are overrun with a gang of motorbike-riding, cocaine-slinging ninjas. It's up to Dragon Sound, a guitar-synth-pop-rock band of taekwondo orphans, to keep Vice City safe. Following its limited initial release in Greater Orlando and West Germany, Leith Kino is bringing Miami Connection to the Central Belt for a celebration of 'so-bad-it's-good' cinema. It's 84 minutes of 1980s action as told through the lens of writer-director and star Y.K. Kim, a taekwondo instructor with no previous (or later) filmmaking experience. Since its rediscovery in 2009, Miami Connection's reputation on the cult cinema circuit has been growing, with Oscar-winning director Sean Baker (Anora, The Florida Project) considering it among his top 4 films of all time. So trim your mullets, don your tank tops, and get down to Leith Depot for a film that celebrates neon-lit taekwondo action, electric guitars, and most important of all, the power of friendship.
