THE ROYAL TAILOR to Close New Visions Section
The Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia has unveiled part of its lineup for next month’s 48th edition, and among the announcements were five Korean films hailing from the country’s commercial sector.
Screening out of competition as the closing film of the Noves Visions (New Visions) section will be
LEE Won-suk’s period drama
The Royal Tailor. Though it struggled at the domestic box office, the film has proven popular with festival programmers around the world, most recently securing invitations to the Vancouver and
Busan International Film Festivals. Also in Noves Visions will be
HAN Jun-hee’s female-centric gangster revenge tale
Coin Locker Girl, which debuted at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year.
The full lineup for this year’s Sitges will be unveiled at the beginning of next week while the event itself will kick off on October 9th and run until the 11th.
