HONG Sang-soo Shoots His Ninth
Published on | Source
Director Hong Sang-soo is in production on his ninth feature film, tentatively titled "Like You Know It All" ("You Don't Even Know" - Jal al-ji-do mot-ha-myun-seo). The film, HONG's second to be shot in HD following his previous feature "Night and Day", has an ultra-low budget of only US$100,000.
HONG is one of Korea's leading auteur directors, with many of his films screening at international festivals. Several of his films have been released in France and retrospectives of HONG's oeuvre have been organized in Toronto, San Francisco, Irvine, and Montreal, among other cities.
The new project stars HONG regulars, Kim Tae-woo ("Woman is the Future of Man"), Uhm Ji-won ("Tale of Cinema"), and Go Hyun-jung ("Woman on the Beach"). KIM plays a film director invited to sit on the jury of the Jecheon International Music and Film Festival. There he meets an attractive programmer for the fest, played by EOM. Later he visits Jeju Island to deliver a lecture and meets the wife of one of his colleagues, played by KO.
The film, produced by production shingle Jeonwonsa, is currently shooting in Jecheon, where the festival (a real-life event) takes place each August. The production then moves to Jeju where it will continue to shoot into September.
