At 11 a.m. on the 9th (local time), the 79th Festival de Canes announced official invitations for each category.
On this day, the festival announced that it invited Yeon Sang-ho's "The Colony" to the Midnight Screening category. "The Colony" is a film about isolated survivors fighting against the infected, who evolve into unpredictable forms inside a building blocked by an unidentified infection. The film is Jeon Ji-hyun's return 11 years after the movie Assassination.
Meanwhile, this year's Cannes International Film Festival is drawing more attention as director Park Chan-wook was appointed as the head of the competition section for the first time in Korea. The 79th Cannes International Film Festival will open on May 12 and will be held throughout Cannes, France, until May 23.
