Three South Korean films, with support from the Korean Film Council (KOFIC), will soon be available to international audiences, the council announced Wednesday.
Yoo Ha’s ``A Frozen Flower,’’ starring heartthrobs Zo In-sung and Joo Jin-mo, will premiere Friday in Taiwanese theaters. Infinity International secured the distribution rights for the sexually charged historical drama.
Eleven Arts acquired the American distribution rights for Noh Young-seok’s ``Daytime Drinking,’’ which is tentatively scheduled to enter U.S. cinemas April 10. The humorous indie flick revolves around an unfortunate man who is dumped by his girlfriend, stood up by his friends and victimized by the Korean drinking culture.
Belgian Cineart pursued the rights to screen Na Hong-jin’s gritty thriller ``The Chaser.’’ Belgians will be able to view last year’s multi-award winning film beginning April 22. The film recently won Best Action Asian Film Award from France’s Deauville International Film Festival.
Meanwhile, ``Breathless’’ by Yang Ik-june won the top prize at the Fribourg International Film Festival in Switzerland. This adds to the independent film’s roster of awards including coveted awards at the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Rotterdam and Deauville festivals.
