“Cinema is a record of existence.”
Since 1987, and for almost three decades, New York cinephiles had access to a vast treasure trove of rare films thanks to Kim's Video, a small empire run by Yongman Kim, an enigmatic character who amassed more than fifty thousand VHS tapes.
A warm, wistful dive into a bygone era of physical media and passionate cinephilia. It feels like a treasure hunt through forgotten VHS tapes, celebrating the quirky spirit of independent film culture and the unique characters who shaped it, tinged with a melancholic appreciation for what's lost.
