The Asia Pacific Screen Awards (APSA), established in 2008, celebrates excellence in film in Asia Pacific region. Prolific films and individuals are selected every year to be recognized for their work. The award categories include Best Feature Film, Best Animated Feature Film, Best Children’s Feature Film, Best Documentary Feature film, Achievement in Directing, Best Screenplay, Achievement in Cinematography, Best Performance by an Actress, Best Performance by an Actor, and Screen International Jury Grand Prize. The last APSA took place in Brisbane City Hall at the end of last year on December 12th, but due to filming schedule, LEE Byung-Hun was not able to attend the ceremony. Producer of Masquerade (2012), WON Dong-yeon attended in his place and LEE was awarded for the Best Performance by an Actor category.

LEE was honored with the award this month at the Australian Embassy in Seoul by International Jury member Kim Tae-yong with APSA Chairman Michael Hawkins.

“Lee Byung-hun has received this award – his first APSA win – for his two starring roles, as a king and acrobat, in Masquerade,” said Hawkins. “Over the past seven years, more than 100 Korean films have competed at APSA, winning 14 individual awards.”

Also for the handover at the Australian Embassy, APSA Academy members LEE Choon-yun, KIM Dong-ho, and KIM Hong-joon were in attendance.

The 8th Asia Pacific Screen Awards will be held on Thursday 11 December this year will be presented by Treasury Casino & Hotel and will be held in Brisbane’s City Hall.
