Han Gong-ju by director LEE Su-jin has been invited to the International Competition of the 28th Fribourg International Film Festival (FIFF).

The film depicts high school girl Gong-ju who has a painful memory but tries to move on with a new life. It began its honor roll by picking up awards from the Busan International Film Festival last year, adding new accolades from the Marrakesh and Rotterdam International Film Festivals and Deauville Asian Film Festival this year. FIFF selected Han Gong-ju, as the only Korean movie in its International Competition for its 2014 edition.
