Director Kim Jin-yu's 'Journey There' Officially Invited to Paris and London Korean Film Festivals
Director Kim Jin-yu's new film 'Journey There' has been officially invited to the Paris Korean Film Festival and the London Korean Film Festival. The film, which follows the story of Chun-hee, has previously won multiple awards at the Busan International Film Festival and the Seoul Independent Film Festival.
The new work 'Journey There' by Gangneung-born director Kim Jin-yu has been officially invited to Korean film festivals in France and the United Kingdom. According to media reports, the overseas distributor FINECUT announced on the 12th that the work has been invited to the 'Paysage' section of the 21st Paris Korean Film Festival held in Paris, France starting from the 27th, and the 'Cinema Now' section of the 21st London Korean Film Festival to be held in London, United Kingdom on November 2.
Director Kim is scheduled to attend both film festivals to meet local audiences. The film tells the story of Chun-hee, who, after losing her husband first, prepares her own journey and experiences changes in her daily life after meeting an unexpected connection in her newly moved-in apartment. Kim Hye-ok, Justin H. Min, and Gong Min-jeung appear in the film.
Following his previous work 'Bori', Director Kim is drawing attention for his direction that delicately portrays characters and relationships.

This work was also invited to the competition section of the 48th Moscow International Film Festival and the 25th New York Asian Film Festival. The domestic release date is the 28th.
