The film market at Pusan International Film Festival was rather small compared to the one at Cannes . As such, there were only four screenings of Thai films at Pusan : Midnight My Love, The Tin Mine, Hell, and Crying Tigers.
Citizen Dog , Midnight My Love, and Born to Fight were sold.
Citizen Dog and Midnight My Love were sold under a special program called CJ Collection, a collaboration between the Committee of Pusan International Film Festival and the Korean entertainment firm CJ Entertainment. The program pledged the purchase of five films for cinema and DVD distribution throughout South Korea , but those films must be the five best ones and must demonstrate cultural diversity and promote Asian films and a reputation of the Pusan International Film Festival.
This year, the five films chosen under this special program are:
Be With Me Eric Khoo ( Singapore )
Mongolian Ping Pong Ning Hao ( China )
Poet of the Wastes Mohammad Ahmadi ( Iran )
Citizen Dog Wisit Sasanatieng ( Thailand )
Midnight My Love Kongdej Jaturanrassamee ( Thailand ) |
