The Korean short film "Rude Dawn" has been officially invited to the competition section of the French short film festival, called "the Cannes of the short film festival."

On the 5th, Park Hae-oh, head of the production company 'Bulldozer Studio', director and producer, said, "I am very happy that the film 'Rude Dawn' was officially invited to the 48th short film festival competition section, one of the world's three major short film festivals, and to attend this meaningful event with actor Kang Ae-sim."

Director Park Hae-oh has participated as a production supervisor in the Netflix film "Seungri-ho" and as a producer, including the independent film "The Seed of Violence," and in "Rude Dawn," he is said to have captured the weight of labor, dignity, and silence in a 16-minute running time through understated directing.

The Cllermont Ferran International Short Film Festival, which began in 1979, is one of the world's top three international short film festivals, showcasing 144 competitive films every year and qualifying them for the Academy Awards, BAFTAs, European Film Awards, and Cesar Awards. In addition, markets where film industry officials from all over the world gather beyond simple screening are actively operated, often leading to international distribution and feature production opportunities.

The movie "Rude Dawn" has already swept various film festivals in Korea, creating a big buzz among officials and audiences. It won two awards at the 17th Seoul International Short Film Festival and the 10th Unica Korea International Film Festival, winning the Bronze Award and the Audience Award at the same time, and won the 5th Geumcheon Fashion Film Festival Audience Award, the 2nd Seoul Hangang International Film Festival Encouragement Award, and the 14th National Police Agency Human Rights Film Excellence Award. "Rude Dawn," which has been recognized for its completeness, social message, and empathy with the audience, once again revealed its presence on the international stage through the official invitation of Chlemon Ferran.

"Rude Dawn" is a work that depicts a day in the hard reality of Young-ok (played by Kang Ae-sim), a chauffeur in his 60s, who goes out to the streets at a late dawn and at a time when everyone is asleep. Actor Kang Ae-sim, a master of Korean theater and who recently received worldwide attention for the Netflix series "Squid Game," is said to have expressed the character's inner side more delicately and deeply with more serene eyes and understated acting in this work.

Cha Hue and Park Hyung-jin, co-CEO of Albatross Pictures, which is in charge of overseas part production and global business, said, "Rude Dawn is one of the world's most prestigious short film festivals, and it is considered an example of crossing the threshold of the global market, which is not easy as a Korean short film," adding, "We expect it to produce meaningful results on the global stage because it has received good reviews locally."

Bulldozer Studios and Albatross Pictures are planning to take part in the international short film festival, focusing on domestic and international film festivals.

The 48th annual Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival is being held in Clermont-Ferrand, France, from Jan. 30 to Feb. 7.
