The film ‘People and Meat’ starring Park Geun-hyung, Jang Yong, and Ye Soo-jung has been invited to the 24th Tribeca Film Festival, which runs from June 4th to 15th.

‘People and Meat’, scheduled to be released in the second half of the year, is a heartwarming story of a cheerful chase between three elderly people who come together to eat meat.Park Geun-hyung, Jang Yong, and Ye Soo-jung, who represent South Korea, appear in the film, arousing curiosity by touchingly depicting the cheerful provocations and heart-pounding chases of the three elderly people.

The 24th Tribeca Film Festival was started in 2002 by actor Robert De Niro and veteran Hollywood producer Jane Rosenthal, who worked on films such as ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and ‘The Irishman’, with the aim of bringing hope to the Tribeca area of New York City, which was devastated by the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The Tribeca Film Festival is one of the most prestigious film festivals in the American film industry, showcasing a diverse range of films from around the world in New York, the cultural center of the world.

This year, ‘People and Meat’ is the only Korean feature film to be invited, and it is also noteworthy that this is the first invitation in a long time, following ‘Hummingbird’ in 2019 and ‘Homage’ in 2022.

“It’s a loving look at the quirky eating and running antics of seniors,” said Frederick Boyer, the artistic director of the Tribeca Film Festival and a writer.”It’s a tragicomic look at the aging process in modern Korea.”
