Tale of Cinema is the sixth film by critically acclaimed South Korean director Hong Sang-soo.

So begins "Mother," a new movie from Bong Joon-ho, the most venturesome of South Korean directors.

A Single Spark" is one of five films by the South Korean director to be shown in the festival, which is screening his complete works.

Perhaps it is this, more than anything, that has made Korean, Chinese and Japanese directors into such masters of the absurd.

Kim Cheong-gi (born April 4, 1941) is a South Korean director of animated, fantasy, and science fiction films.

He is not related to Kim Ki-duk, the South Korean director of 3-Iron.

The program is directed by a Korean director, Seounghyun Oh.

During his lifetime, Kim gained many supporters among the younger generation of South Korean directors.

In 1978 he ordered the abduction of a South Korean director, Shin Sang Ok, and his wife, an actress.

This master Korean director, who has made more than 90 films, uses the blush of ardor to warm the tale's familiarity.
