Asian Film Market and PPP Results
The Asian Film Market was again bustling in its second year although buyers tended to window-shop and take notes for later. A number of Korean films were picked up mainly for TV/DVD rights. Korean sales agent Cineclick Asia sealed a number of deals, selling all rights to Kim Ki-duk 's "Breath" to Saudi Arabia-based Ghassan Production and Distribution for the Middle Eastern territories.
The company also picked up DVD/TV rights to KIM's "The Bow " and "3-Iron ", along with "Family Ties" ("The Birth of a Family "), "Red Shoes ", "Fighter in the Wind ", "Love Me Not ", "Seducing Mr. Perfect ", and Kim Ji-woon 's "A Tale of Two Sisters " from Cineclick. More TV rights went to Japan's Nettai Museum for horror films "The Red Shoes " and "Acacia" along with "The Wolf Returns" and "Mission Sex Control ". Meanwhile Hungary's Cinetel bought TV/VOD/Video rights to Kim Ki-duk 's "Samaria ", "Red Shoes ", and "A Tale of Two Sisers".
In a major deal, CJ Entertainment sold a four-feature package to buyer Splendid for Germany . Rights were sold for "West 32nd """,a high-profile feature set in New York and directed by Korean-Amercian "Michael Kang "",psychological-thriller "Black House ""by Sin Tae-ra – a Korean-Japanese co-production "",medical-horror "Wide Awake" ("Return" ) by LEE Gyu-man, KIM Tae-kyung 's 2006 feature "Puzzle" .
At the Pusan Promotion Plan pre-market, the top prize of US$20 000 in production support went to "11 Flowers"by China 's Wang Xiaoshuai. The Kodak Award of $20 000 in film stock went to Korea 's PARK Ki-bok for his project "Farewell". The Cineclick Asia award of $10 000 went to SONO Sion of Japan for "Room of Dreams". The Busan Film Commission presented an award of $10 000 to "Bi, Don't Be Afraid"by PHAN Dang Di. Finally, the Overseas Korean Foundation (OKF Fund) awarded $10 500 to Korean-American Michael Kang 's "Sea of Tranquility".
