Italy was once again awash with Korean colours at the 9th Florence Korean Film Festival.
This year the festival was able to secure a veritable whose who of Korean directors including Bong Joon-ho ("The Host" 2006), Lee Chang-dong ("Secret Sunshine" 2007), Lim Sang-soo ("The President's Last Bang" 2005) and Lee Kyoo-man ("Return" 2007). In addition, as well as 10,000 audience members, a number of other guests were in attendance including Italian directors Roger Diodati, and Leonardo Cinieri Lombroso and YOO Dong-suk, director of the Korean Film Festival in France (Festival Franco Corren du Film).
The festival contained a number of sections including a retrospective of Bong Joon-ho, a special presentation of the Cannes premiering "The Housemaid - 2010" (Lim Sang-soo 2010) as well as Lee Chang-dong's Cannes winning "Poetry" (2010). Other sections included the K-Thriller Showcase and short film section 'Shorts Shorts'. In the festivals Film Competition section 'Korean Horizons', the jury awarded its top prize to feature debut director Kim Seong-ho's film "She Came From" (2010). The film which has also played at last year's Jeonju International Film Festival plots the journey of a film director who, while staying in Busan, finds his own life becomes intertwined in a screen play he is writing.
