More Award Winning Films!
Last week we announced our first film in the KOFFIA 2011 line-up, the Silver Bear jury prize winner at the 61st Berlin International Film Festival, "Broken Night".
Well to be honest, we just weren't satisfied with having only the
Silver Bear, so we are going to feature the Golden Bear too!
Park
Chan-wook and his brother Park Chan-kyung (who when directing together
are known as PARKing CHANce) set out to shoot a film entirely on an
iPhone 4. The result was the highly acclaimed and worldwide phenomenon, Night Fishing (Paranmanjang). Winner of the Gold Bear for Best Short Film at the 61st Berlinale,
marking a new era for film-making, these 2 awards signalled the
recognition of South Korea's strengths in the art of short-length
cinema.
Although Night Fishing is
only a 30-minute short film, it received global attention upon its
announcement. You can read all about the hype surrounding the film in
Richard Gray's previous KOFFIA blog entry which
covers how it was created, how they achieved it technically, and what
sort of scale the shoot was. It even includes behind the scenes footage
so make sure you check it out.
"Night Fishing" will screen as part of our 'Masters and Students' selection, specifically in our YKFA Young Korean Filmmakers in Australia session in Sydney. It is a must see, and there are many more to come!!!
HOLD ON TIGHT!
