Director Park has debouched into the world cinema, a competition part of the Sundance Film Festival, with his latest film 'Green Chair'. The Sundance Film Festival, being famous for a lying-in rool of the U.S. Independent film, has broadened an opportunity of winning a prize for Asia as well as Europe movies by altering its world cinema to a competition.

A karma between director Park and the Sundance Film Festival dates back to past 1996. His mystery drama '301, 302' had been presented in the North America market by being invited to the World Cinema and on the following year, the director has displayed 'Farewell My Darling' to the same part.

With his latest film 'Green Chair', he has come to knock at the door of the Sundance Film Festival once again. Movie 'Green Chair' is a passionate love story between a woman in her thirties and a teenaged boy
The 2005 Sundance Film Festival will be held on January 20 - 30 in Park City, Utah.

In 1978, the Utah/US Film Festival, an annual cinematic exhibition, was created in Salt Lake City. During its early years, the Film Festival focused primarily on the presentation of retrospective films and filmmaker seminars.

However, from its inception, the Film Festival featured a national competition aimed at drawing attention to emerging American films made outside the Hollywood system-independent cinema. The United States Film Festival moved to Park City, Utah in 1981 and included documentaries and short films along with its program of dramatic features.

In 1985, responding to the need for support from an organization that could provide year-round programming, administrative staffing, financial backing, and a network of contacts, the Film Festival became part of the Sundance Institute and added international films to its program. Officially renamed in 1991, the Sundance Film Festival is now recognized internationally as a showcase for the best in new American independent film.
