Director HONG Sang-Soo is highly regarded in Europe where his films have screened at Cannes to great acclaim and had subsequent theatrical releases in France. In the U.S. he is still widely unknown, although retrospectives of his work in Toronto and San Francisco have spread word of his particular genius. Finally, in January 2008, New York City filmgoers will get a chance to see his most recent feature "Woman on the Beach" (2006).

Film Forum, New York's leading art-house and independent movie theatre will hold the U.S. premiere run of the film Jan 9 – 22. Woman is HONG's seventh feature and has travelled to many festivals including Seattle, New York, Vancouver and Toronto. It received a glowing review in the New York Times from veteran critic A.O.
