LEE Byung-hun and JUNG Yu-mi Take Home Main Acting Trophies
This year’s 29th Buil Film Awards took place as usual during the first weekend of the Busan International Film Festival. KIM Bora’s House of Hummingbird (2019), which debuted at the festival two years earlier, returned to Busan to claim the Best Film Award at the event, which was staged by the Busan Ilbo newspaper and took place at the Busan Dream Theatre without a live audience, in order to stem the spread of COVID-19. Director KIM also picked up the prize for Best Screenplay.
JUNG Ji-woo picked up the Best Director Award for his melodrama Tune in for Love (2019), which also came away with the Best Music prize. HONG Won-chan’s action-thriller hit DELIVER US FROM EVIL triumphed in the technical categories, picking upon awards for Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction.
