'Project Y' has been invited to the special presentation section of the 50th Toronto International Film Festival, which will be held from September 4 to September 14.
The Toronto International Film Festival, where Project Y was invited, is the largest film festival in North America and one of the world's four major film festivals, where films of both popularity and artistry are invited. Among them, the special presentation section in which 'Project Y' was invited introduces new works by world-class actors and directors, and previously, director Bong Joon-ho's 'Mother'Parasite', director Park Chan-wook's 'Decision to Break Up'Lady', and director Kim Ji-woon's 'Secret' were invited.
At the 49th Toronto International Film Festival held last year, director Lee Eon-hee's 'The Love Act of the Large City' and director Ryu Seung-wan's 'Veteran2' were invited to the special presentation section, and director Woo Min-ho's"Harbin" was invited to the gala presentation section, drawing enthusiastic responses.
Giovanna Fulby, chief programmer at the Toronto International Film Festival, said of 'Project Y"Han So-hee and Jeon Jong-seo, the strong attraction created by the two actors, adrenaline-stimulating action, and the fierce struggle for survival provide thrilling tension and deep emotional resonance at the same time. Project Y, which revolves around bold plans, is one of the most anticipated Korean films of the year, he said, explaining the reason for the invitation.
As such, 'Project Y' is attracting expectations with the intense chemistry and new transformation of actors Han So-hee and Jeon Jong-seo, who captivated the audience with their unique acting and unique charm in each work. Director Lee Hwan of 'Adults Don't Know'Park Hwa-young', who drew attention for his unconventional subject matter and strong directing, participates as the director and draws attention. The production was accompanied by Climax Studio, which successfully led 'Hell'D.P.'Concrete Utopia' to show the potential of Korean content to the world, and WOWPOINT, a global production company that was officially invited to the special presentation section of the 50th Toronto International Film Festival with both works 'Face' and 'Project Y'.
'Project Y' is a story about two women who had nothing but each other, stealing hidden black money and gold bars to escape from the reality at the bottom. Han So-hee and Jeon Jong-seo appeared, and director Lee Hwan of 'Adults Don't Know''Park Hwa-young took the megaphone. Undecided release.
