PIFF lines up Asian auteurs for omnibus project By Jean Noh The Pusan International Film Festival (PIFF) has announced the production of an omnibus film about people falling in love in the city of Busan, to be executive produced by festival head Kim Dong-ho. Korea’s Jang Joon-hwan (Save The Green Planet!), Thailand’s Wisit Sasanatieng (Tears Of The Black Tiger) and Japan’s Isao Yukisada (Crying Out Love In The Center Of The World) will each direct a short film segment for the omnibus Busan Project (working title). Korean production company and distributor Sidus FNH has picked up worldwide rights to the film, with a first-look option for local distribution. Busan Project will be produced by BALCON, a Busan-based production and distribution company founded and financed by PIFF in 2007. Sidus FNH-BENEX Cinema Fund I and Busan City will each be investing a third of the total budget of $1.28m (KW1.5bn), and are looking to make up the third tranche from overseas investors. BALCON president Oh Seok-geun said: “There have been city-based omnibus films before like New York and Paris Je T’aime, but this is the first time in Korea for an omnibus with international directors making shorts set in a certain city. Busan itself is very interested in becoming a cinema hub and this should also highlight the beauty of the city.” Yukisada Isao, whose 2001 film Go! previously screened in PIFF said: “I feel like Busan is a second hometown to me. It was here that I learned about filmmaking beyond borders and started dreaming of making films like that. This project should be a realisation of that, and I am honoured to be part of it.” Yukisada’s short will revolved around a cinematographer and an eligible bachelorette; Jang’s around a former archery athlete who feels compelled to play Cupid, and Wisit’s will be a karaoke musical featuring a Thai agent sent to kill someone in Busan, but who ends up falling in love. The films will be shot this winter, aiming for a premiere in Cannes or Venice. The casts and crews will be pan-Asian, with post-production to be done at the recently opened AZWorks facilities in Busan. http://www.screendaily.com/ http://movie.daum.net/ http://www.cine21.com/ http://movie.naver.com |

Busan Project releases star-studded cast list![]() The film was conceived with the hope that it would help Busan develop into a hub of cinema in Asia.’ The star-studded cast of the Busan Project, an omnibus film project by three directors from Korea, Japan and Thailand, has been released along with the official name of the film. The film, which is to be called “Camellia,” is being produced by the Pusan International Film Festival, which has become one of the biggest film events in Asia. While the participating directors were determined when the project was announced, the official title and cast list were up in the air until they were finalized this week. The cast will include Korean actors Gang Dong-won, Song Hye-kyo, Kim Min-jun and Sul Kyung-gu. They will appear alongside renowned actors from Japan and Thailand, the other two countries represented in the project. “The name of the film is meaningful because the camellia tree and flower represent the city of Busan,” a press release from the Pusan International Film Festival said yesterday. The project, which has a budget of 1.5 billion won, is the film festival’s first production. It drew attention last year when it was first announced that directors Jang Joon-hwan (Korea), Isao Yukisada (Japan) and Wisit Sasanatieng (Thailand) would come together to make the film, which will be shot in the southern port city of Busan. “The Busan Project was conceived with the hope that it would help Busan develop into a hub of cinema in Asia, and we thought that it would be great if notable Asian directors could collaborate to make an omnibus film set in Busan with the common theme of love,” PIFF director Kim Dong-ho, who is also the producer of the project, told reporters at the 14th edition of the festival in October. Gang and Song will star in Korean director Jang’s film, “Love for Sale,” which tells the story of a couple entwined in a fatal love affair in the midst of a highly industrialized society where even love is put up for sale. Korean actor Sul Kyung-gu and Japanese actress Yuriko Yoshitaka will star in Japanese director Yukisada’s film, “Kamome” (“Seagull”), a fantasy-melodrama depicting the love between a movie director and a young lady in present-day Busan. Korean actor Kim Min-jun and Thai-American actor Michael Shaowanasai will star in the third segment, called “Iron Pussy,” by Thai director Sasanatieng. The movie, set in Busan in the 1970s, tells the story of a Thai secret agent, a man disguised as a woman, who slips into the seaside city on a mission and falls for a mysterious Korean guy. Filming will begin today, starting with Jang’s film, and producers hope to present the film at the Cannes film festival in May. http://movie.daum.net http://www.joongangdaily.com/ |

Gang Dong-won, Song Hye-kyo start filming "Love Lynn Kim Top Korean actors Gang Dong-won and Song Hye-kyo have started shooting their feature segment for the Asian omnibus pic "Camellia", according to the film's producer BAL CON on Wednesday. The two actors started filming "Love For Sale" on Friday, playing former lovers who forget their memories about each which later leads them to a fatal destiny. "Camellia" is an omnibus pic made up of three feature films directed by three Asian directors. Each episode will be set in the past, present and future of the city of Busan, Korea. The first feature "Iron Pussy", which tells the story of Busan during the 1970s, will be directed by Thailand's Wisit Sasanatieng and star Korean actor Kim Min-jun and Thai-American actor Michael Shaowanasai. Korean actor Sul Kyung-gu and Japan's Yositaka Yuriko will appear in the second segment, "Kamome", which is set in modern day Korea. It will be directed by Japanese filmmaker Yukisada Isao. Set in the near future, "Love for Sale" is the final episode which will be helmed by Korean director Jang Joon-hwan. Jang won rave reviews for his directorial debut "Save the Green Planet!" in 2003. Gang has been considered one of Korea's top heartthrobs since his appearance in the 2004 film "Romance of their Own". He most recently starred in comic fantasy flick "WOOCHI", which set a record for attracting the most number of viewers on its opening day and has been ranked at No.2 behind "Avatar" for four consecutive weeks. Gang has another movie coming out next month, titled "Sworn Brothers". Actress Song Hye-kyo shot to fame in 2000 after starring in KBS TV series "Autumn Fairy Tale" alongside Hallyu stars Won Bin and Song Seung-hun. She garnered increasing popularity throughout Asia with her subsequent roles in hit dramas such as "All In" (SBS, 2003) and "Full House" (KBS, 2004). http://10.asiae.co.kr |

I've talked to Wisit about this and he says that he's going to shoot his segment as soon as he's through principal photography on Red Eagle, which should be any time now. I guess he'll do post on both at the same time. |

I like some of Wisit's stuff, but he hasn't been really ringing my bell since Citizen Dog. I have hopes for Red Eagle. |

Ya, same here. I've been looking forward to Red Eagle for a long time. He's been working on it for a long time in fact. It seems like forever ago when we first heard about it. |

They kept it quiet but Red Eagle was delayed for a long time because Ananda had a serious motorcycle accident. He had to rehab for something like six months and then had to get himself back into hero-shape ... the whole thing ended up delaying stuff by about a year. They were pretty much ready to shoot when it happened, too. |

Camellia Camellia is an omnibus by three directors from Thailand, Japan, and Korea. Although filmed against the backdrop of Busan, the movie unfurls its love stories by the individual directors in the past, present, and future tense. Wisit Sasanatieng’s Iron Pussy: A Kimchi Affair depicts the story of a cross-dressing secret agent that falls in love during a mission. The director reinterprets the unique and beloved character of Iron Pussy in Thailand within a kitschy context. Yukisada Isao’s Kamome tells the story of a camera operator who has a surreal rendezvous with a lady who wanders into his camera frame with a gentle and warm touch. Jang Joonhwan’s Love for Sale gives us a man in search of an authentic love in the city of Busan, where the memory of love is up for trade. He maximizes the psychedelic tones of science fiction for a novel reinterpretation of the meaning of love. Made by three teams of directors and crew, Camellia proposes a new path for the Asian film industry. Despite the distinctive production styles and characters, this stimulating co-production ultimately encourages venturing into unfamiliar artworks. http://www.piff.org/ - FEW STILLS |
