Perhaps South-Korean director Kim Ki-duk knew the kind of backlash a project such as “The Isle”, or “Seom” which is the film’s original title, would have to face internationally. Even though audiences and critics understood the artistic quality of the film, for example, when it was screened at the Venice Film Festival. In his review of the film, acclaimed critic Roger Ebert wrote:”This is the most gruesome and quease-inducing film you are likely to have seen.

Golden Scene, one of Asia’s most enduring independent film distributors, is known for its year-round billboards attached to bus shelters around Hong Kong, and also for the spot-on taste of founder Winnie Tsang.
Tsang started the company 20 years ago by snatching opportunity from adversity. Having risen from secretary to board member at the legendary Golden Harvest production to exhibition group, Tsang jumped in when the studio made a strategic decision to exit distribution.
She set up shop nearby in the Tsim Sha Tsui district and took with her a small staff. They handled distribution on behalf of Golden Harvest’s various labels and its sub-distribution relationship with Uip.
While benefitting from a steady supply of studio business, Tsang relished the freedom to make her own choices. “I could do anything, go anywhere, visit more festivals,” says Tsang. “I had less need to be commercial and instead could pick films...
