"Secret Sunshine" to Have Dual Premiere

Director Lee Chang-dong's highly anticipated fourth feature will shine on screens at around the same time in France and Korea this month. "Secret Sunshine" will have its World Premiere on May 24th both domestically and in competition at the 60th Cannes International Film Festival.

The film's distributor , Cinema Service, coordinated the date of its local release with that of the Cannes official screening, in order to make it truly a World Premiere. The film was originally set to be released locally May 17th. "Secret Sunshine" is known in Korea as 'Miryang', named after the town in which it is set, and stars two of Korea's most renowned stars, Jeon Do-yeon and Song Kang-ho.

Both the stars and director LEE will attend a red carpet and photo event at the Cannes preview, and will watch the film with the audience of international guests. Director LEE has won major awards including the Venice Silver Lion for his previous film "Oasis" (2002).
