Zhang Yimou romance to open Pusan Festival
9 September 2010 / AP, HONG KONG
Zhang Yimou’s new romance will kick off the 15th edition of Asia’s leading film festival, and Oliver Stone and Juliette Binoche will be among the event’s guests, organizers said.
The Pusan International Film Festival said on its website Wednesday that the annual weeklong event in the southern South Korean city will open on Oct. 7 with Zhang’s “Under the Hawthorn Tree,” a love story set in China’s decade-long ultra-leftist Cultural Revolution.
The eight-day program will close with “Camellia,” a three-part film shot in the festival’s host city by directors from South Korea, Japan and Thailand. Overall, the festival will feature 103 world premieres -- 82 for feature productions and 21 for short films -- including special sections on Czech and Kurdish cinema.
Stone will promote his new release “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” and be honored in a hand-printing ceremony. French actress Binoche will discuss her Cannes-winning role in Abbas Kiarostami’s “Certified Copy.” The movie’s Iranian director is also serving as dean of the festival’s annual film academy.
