BUSAN, Oct. 12 (Yonhap) -- "Trace of Love", the story of a man retracing a journey outlined in his dead lover's diary, premiered Thursday to get the 11th Pusan International Film Festival off to a successful start.

Stars and guests paraded along the red carpet near Haeundae Beach in the southern coastal city of Busan. The attendees were a mixture of Asians and Europeans, oscar-winning director Istvan Szabo of Hungary, Bruno Dumont of France and Chinese actor-turned-producer Andy Lau, as well as Kim Ji-soo and Yoo Ji-tae, the stars of the opening film.

No guests were known to have cancelled due to the recent geopolitical tension from North Korea's claimed nuclear test, organizers said, with attention focusing on director Kim Dae-seung's "Traces of Love".
The spiced-up love story makes good use of the Korean landscape, including shots of the coastal highway No. 7 overlooking the East Sea. Kim, who honed his skills under Korea's representative director Im Kwon-taek a...

BUSAN, Oct. 12 (Yonhap) -- With his "Trace of Love" unveiled at the Pusan International Film Festival on Thursday, director Kim Dae-seung said he wanted to recall a social tragedy that has been somewhat forgotten but still traumatizes many of the survivors and bereaved relatives.

The film tells the story of a man who loses his lover when a department store collapses on her. It takes its cue from the 1995 tragedy involving Seoul's Sampoong Department Store, which left over 500 dead and 930 injured but has slowly faded from memory (the site has since been replaced by upscale apartment buildings)
"I've been one of those people who feel anger that things have been covered up over time without truth-finding efforts, and people who are responsible for them forgive themselves and their lives go on", Kim said after the preview of the film in the host city of Busan.

"It could be a little unusual to convey such questions through a melodrama, but I wanted to say that there a...

The 11th Pusan International Film Festival will kick off its nine-day journey on Thursday amid heated enthusiasm that saw tickets for the opening film sold out in no more than two minutes and 45 seconds. A total of 245 works from 63 countries will be shown during the festival, 64 of them having their world premiere.

The opening film is the melodrama "Trace of Love" by Kim Dae-seung, director of "Bungee Jumping of Their Own". The film, set against the backdrop of the collapse of the Sampoong Department Store in Seoul in 1995, is the first Korean movie to open the festival since Kim Ki-duk's "The Coast Guard" four years ago. "Crazy Stone", a black comedy by Chinese director Ning Hao, will close the festival.

The festival has been somewhat scaled down from last year, its 10th anniversary, with 307 films from 73 nations, but the quality is as good. It is noticeably bringing leading Asian directors together, particularly from the Philippines, Vietnam, and Malaysia, highlighting one of...
