Seoul -- In a way, the attendance of the Korean Film Council at this year's American Film Market was a new venture. With the high rent charged by Santa Monica hotels and few country pavilions as participants, Afm's sales-driven market never seemed fitting for a low-key government-supported film body.
This year, it was different. Aside from assisting Korean sales companies who are attending the market, the council, which is officially participating in the U.S. trade show for the first time, has paid to bring in Korean 3D converting studios and postproduction firms. Their ideal scenario is to show Korea's capacity as a production Mecca and promote a comprehensive location and co-production package for Hollywood studios.
For the council, which is expected to introduce a cash incentive of up to 3 billion won ($2.6 million) as early as next year for foreign production shooting in Korea, the goal is to expand the...

Jolly crickets. After that trailer, I could say something very sexist and a little unbecoming of my age, right? Like the trailer for Fatso, there’s nothing in here that would scream NSFW, but if you have the tendency to voice out hormone-drenched epithets whenever… oh mama. Where is this going?
Anyhow. Focus.
As if we needed any further confirmation, her wonderful performance in 스포트라이트 (Spotlight) showed once again that Son Ye-Jin is the best actress of her generation (along with, may I suggest, Gong Hyo-Jin and Cha Su-Yeon), but that doesn’t always mean quality is guaranteed. Be it the material faulting the actors - 무방비 도시 (Open City) wasn’t exactly high art, and her “I’m so sexy I’m melting the North Pole faster than SUVs” aura was a little too forced—or just a case of not playing the right character, everyone, even the very...
