Asian Premiere dates set for THE SKIN I’M IN at DMZ DOCS in Korea

For anyone in Korea, the Asian Premiere dates at DMZ DOCS have been announced. The film will screen twice, on Sept. 22 and Sept. 27.

DMZ DOCS is an international documentary festival held in the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea, using this symbolic space to showcase a program of world documentaries that promote peace and human understanding.

Particularly given the status of LGBT issues in Korea, we’re honored to have THE SKIN I’M IN be a part of this festival.

Marie, the director of ACON Northern Rivers began the evening with a “welcome to country” acknowledgment that we were on Arakwal Aboriginal lands and as guests, share a responsibility for its custodianship. This sensibility, along with the spirituality and connectedness of Byron made this a pretty unbelievable place to launch the journey of THE SKIN I’M IN.

Here is a link to a digital “welcome to country” that played before many of the festival’s screenings:
