'Hexagonal all-rounder' Koo Hye-sun's all-around move is currently in progress. Koo Hye-sun, who is known to be well versed in movies, recently joined the jury of the 「17th Seoul International Senior Film Festival (SISFF)」. He drew attention by screening his entries with major figures in the film industry, including director Lim Sun-ae, who directed the film `Love at the End of the Century,' editor-in-chief Song Kyung-won of the film magazine `Cine21,' and film journalist Jang Sung-ran.
Marking its 17th anniversary this year, the Seoul International Senior Film Festival is a global generational empathy film festival where various generations understand and communicate about life in old age through movies, and this year will be held for five days from the 9th to the 13th.
In the midst of this, Koo Hye-sun was selected as a judge in the 'SISFF International Short Film Competition' section, where stories created by young and elderly directors around the world unfold. Earlier, he had a special relationship with the Seoul International Senior Film Festival. In 2013, the short film 『Pieces of Memory』, in which Koo Hye-sun took the megaphone, won the Young Director Award at the festival, capturing the audience who visited the festival and the critics.
Koo Hye-sun's director 'Memory Pieces' is a nine-minute musical short film that matches the pieces of memory in a man's life, and has been praised for its delicate directing power, lyrical storylines and beautiful visual beauty. His enthusiastic response to the work leads to the honor of the award, drawing public attention.
As a result, Koo Hye-sun, who returned to the Seoul International Senior Film Festival as a judge, will have a different mindset. He reportedly watched all the entries more closely and participated in the screening as best he could. As well as enthusiasm and affection for the film festival, questions are already growing about what attracted Koo Hye-sun, who has a sharp eye.
Meanwhile, starting with her attendance at the opening ceremony at CGV Piccadiri1958 on the 9th, Koo Hye-sun will take her first step as a judge of the 「17th Seoul International Senior Film Festival」.
