Bong Joon Ho and the Parasite team made history at the 2020 Academy Awards, becoming the first foreign-language film to receive Best Picture, while also taking home Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best International Film. Following its historic wins, we’re thrilled to announce that the film has extended its run here at Film at Lincoln Center and it will return to our largest screen, in the Walter Reade Theater, starting this Friday, February 14 for select screenings. Parasite also continues playing daily at the Howard Gilman Theater at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center.

After making its New York premiere at the 57th New York Film Festival with two sold-out shows, the film opened on October 16 at FLC and has not slowed down, still selling out shows almost daily after 17 weeks and becoming the most successful new release in the organization’s history. “We are thrilled to be playing Bong Joon Ho’s brilliant Parasite, and to see it receive such acclaim from critics and audiences alike,” said FLC Associate Director of Programming Florence Almozini. “We’ve had packed screenings since we opened the film after the New York Film Festival in October, and we look forward to many more weeks of this wild, exhilarating, and poignant film—one of the best of the year.”

“Parasite has had such a life at Film at Lincoln Center, beginning with the rapturous New York Film Festival premiere and then breaking our box-office records with its theatrical run,” said FLC Director of Programming Dennis Lim. “We further contextualized the film for our audiences with a November survey of the South Korean film renaissance of the late ’90s and a recent complete retrospective of director Bong’s films, as well as the North American premiere of the black-and-white version of his Best Picture winner. We are honored to have played a role in Parasite’s success.”
