The topical film 'Master of the World', which is about to surpass 80,000 due to its reverse driving at the box office, has been officially invited to the international competition section of the 47th Nantes 3 Continent Film Festival in France.
The Nantes Three Continents Film Festival is a prestigious film festival targeting films from three continents, including Asia, Latin America, and Africa, and is known to have contributed to promoting early works by Asian masters such as Jia Zhangke, Hirokazu Koreeda, and Lim Kwon-taek by introducing films that reveal artistry and originality. Major works invited to the international competition include Ryusuke Hamaguchi's 'Coincidence and Imagination', Hirokazu Koreeda's 'Wonduple Life', Jia Zhangke's 'Platform', Hong Sang-soo's 'Freedom Hill', and Yoon Dan-bi's 'Sister and Sister's Summer Night'. The 'Master of the World' was named in the international competition category, and was nominated for a total of five awards, including the Grand Prize (Golden Balloon Prize), the Best Picture (Silver Balloon Prize), the Youth Jury Prize, the Audience Prize.
Aisha Rahim, Deputy Executive Chairman of the Nantes Three Continents Film Festival, was deeply moved by the intimate gaze shown by the 'Master of the World'" Director Yu Ga-eun's eyes capture the world of children and teenagers in a surprisingly delicate way. Each character reflects, reacts, and confronts the unstable boundaries surrounding the world in their own way. We believe this work will inspire sympathy from all over the world and will be inspired by the director's bold and delicate vision."
In addition, 'Master of the World' reported the invitation to the 20th Jokja-Netpack Asian Film Festival and the 5th Red Sea International Film Festival, following the Nantes Three Continents Film Festival. The two festivals are the largest film festivals to be held in Indonesia and Saudi Arabia, respectively, and 「Master of the World" is the first Korean director-director to be invited to the Jokja-Netpack Asian Film Festival to promote the status of Korean films to the world.
'Master of the World' is a story about an 18-year-old high school girl who doesn't know where to turn, and everyone's world begins to shake at the words she uttered in anger. Seo Soo-bin, Jang Hye-jin, Jungsik Kim, Kang Chae-yoon, Lee Jae-hee, and Kim Ye-chang appeared, and director Yoon Ga-eun of 'Us'Our House' took the megaphone.
