Eleven Korean features to screen at Vancouver

Eleven feature films and five short films from Korea will screen in the upcoming Vancouver International Film Festival, scheduled to take place from 25 September to October 10. Programmed by British film critic Tony RAYNS, the selection features a wide range of critically acclaimed arthouse work and groundbreaking commercial features. The festival will also screen a newly resubtitled print of auteur Jang Sun-woo's latest work, "Resurrection of the Little Match Girl".

"Save the Green Planet" and "Invisible Light", both by first-time filmmakers, will also compete in the festival's Dragons & Tigers Competition for Young Asian Cinema. Past winners of the award from Korea include Hong Sang-soo for "The Day a Pig Fell Into the Well" and Lee Chang-dong for "Green Fish".
