Late Fame by Kent Jones – USA | 2025 – 96 minutes | Korean Premiere

Ed Saxberger, a forgotten New York poet, works in the post office. After an eager and flattering young admirer appears on his doorstep, Saxberger is beckoned into a coterie of twentysomething admirers who anoint him as a rediscovered genius. Intoxicated by the attention, Saxberger gradually reckons with the authenticity of his newfound poetic circle. (JeonjuIFF 2026)
