Anticipated Korean films will open at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival.
The 74th Berlin Film Festival is one of the world’s three largest international film festivals held annually in Berlin, Germany, and will be held from 5:30 pm on the 15th (local time) to the 25th.
Among domestic films, ‘The Traveler’s Need’, director Hong Sang-soo’s 31st new film and Kim Min-hee’s participation as production director, was named in the competition category.
As a result, director Hong had the honor of being invited to the Berlin International Film Festival for five consecutive years with works such as ‘The Woman Who Ran’ and ‘Introduction’.
In addition, for the first time in a Korean film series, this year’s highly anticipated film ‘Crime City 4’ (directed by Heo Myung-haeng) was invited to the Berlinale Special Gala section.
In the movie ‘Crime City 4’, monster detective ‘Ma Seok-do’ (Ma Dong-seok) confronts villain ‘Baek Chang-gi’ (Kim Mu-yeol), a former special forces mercenary who runs a large-scale online illegal gambling organization, and IT industry genius CEO ‘Jang Dong-cheol’ (Lee Dong-hwi). It is a work depicting a crime eradication operation carried out with the returning ‘Jang Soo’ (Park Ji-hwan), Gwangsoo Unit & Cyber Team.
In addition, the film ‘Breakfast’ (director Jang Jae-hyun), which will be released in Korea on February 22nd, is also scheduled to be released for the first time at the Berlin International Film Festival.
The movie ‘Buried Grave’ is a mystery film that tells the story of strange events that happen to a feng shui master, undertaker, and shaman who received a large amount of money to relocate a suspicious tomb.
The last work, ‘It’s Okay, It’s Okay!’ (director Kim Hye-young), starring actress Lee Re as the lead and Jin Seo-yeon in a supporting role, was invited to the Generation K Plus competition section and presented to overseas audiences.
