Before the train ever left the platform, Yeon Sang-ho made this. SEOUL STATION is the animated prequel to TRAIN TO BUSAN, and it begins where the outbreak begins: among the homeless men sleeping rough near one of the city’s busiest transit hubs. As night falls, the infection tears first through the people the city had already abandoned. The film follows Hye-sun, a young runaway, her boyfriend, and the father searching for her through the chaos, as familiar streets become a killing ground. Yeon, who came up through hard-edged independent animation with The King of Pigs and The Fake, brings a fierce social conscience to the genre.

An essential companion to TRAIN TO BUSAN, screening as part of NYAFF’s Yeon Sang-ho: Apocalypse Architect spotlight program.
