The Korean Film Council is proud to announce the holding of an exceptional event which all of you can take part in from wherever you are. On October 13th, at 12 p.m. GMT (7 a.m. EDT / 1 p.m. CEST / 8 p.m. KST), Pierce Conran will host a Facebook Live session on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/kobiz.kofic) and meet BAE Doo-na, live from the Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia. During this session, you’ll be allowed to ask your own questions to the actress.BAE Doo-na has been invited to the festival to present her most recent film, TUNNEL, which is currently in competition in the Òrbita Section. TUNNEL also stars HA Jung-woo as the trapped victim of a collapsed tunnel who has to survive while the rescue team races against time. The movie had its international premiere at the Locarno International Film Festival, and has dominated the Korean box office in August with more than 6 million viewers.BAE Doo-na is not your typical Korean actress in that she’s one of the very few who has succeeded in making a name for herself beyond her native country. Thanks to the Wachowski siblings who have included her in most of their projects since 2012, she’s now known around the world as the cyborg in Cloud Atlas, the prime hunter in Jupiter Ascending or the unfortunate daughter of a powerful Korean CEO in the TV series Sense8.But her early career was already as fascinating as it nowadays. She was one of the leads in BONG Joon-ho’s debut feature Barking Dogs Never Bite (2000), but also in PARK Chan-wook’s Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002). She’s also had a career in Japan, first as a Korean exchange student in Linda Linda Linda and later in KOREEDA Hirokazu’s Air Doll. She’s been recently acclaimed for her much demanding role in A Girl at My Door (2014) that earned her many awards.We hope to see many of you tune in and send in your comments and questions during the live feed.
