Director Kim Dae-woo is holding a special screening to commemorate his 20th anniversary of debut and will meet with audiences.

Starting on the 25th, the 13th Chuncheon Film Festival's Close-up section will commemorate Director Kim Dae-woo's 20th anniversary of his debut in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province.

'Close-up' is Chuncheon Film Festival's signature special exhibition that deeply explores a single director's entire body of work. Marking exactly 20 years since Kim Dae-woo made his directorial debut with 'Pornographic Scholar' in 2006, the event brings together three of his representative works: 'Bangja Jeon', 'Human Addiction', and 'Hidden Face'. A special GV (Guest Visit) will be held for each screening, with the director personally appearing on stage.

Released in 2010, 'Bangja Jeon' is a historical drama blending Kim Dae-woo's signature satire and humor with subtle sensuality. 'Human Addiction' (2014) depicts the story of a man who falls uncontrollably in love with his subordinate's wife, set against the backdrop of a military dormitory on the eve of the 1969 Vietnam War. The seductive romance crafted by Song Seung-heon and Im Ji-yeon precisely captures the moment when taboos and desires collide.

The accompanying screening of 'Hidden Face' (2024) is Kim Dae-woo's comeback film after a 10-year hiatus. It is a voyeuristic thriller in which the positions of the observer and the observed are reversed in a confined space separated by an opaque glass wall. The intense psychological battle portrayed by Jo Yeo-jeong, Song Seung-heon, and Park Ji-hyun explodes within the limited space.

Director Kim Dae-woo is a writer-turned-director who first gained recognition for his screenplay for 'Scandal: The Story of a Korean Man and Woman'. As a director who began his career as a screenwriter, this GV is expected to offer audiences a rare opportunity to hear directly about his directing methods and writing techniques.

This special screening will take place over three days during the film festival. Detailed information will be available through the official festival schedule.
