Filming of the critically acclaimed, Bangkok-born helmer's new drama kicked off on 19 August. Award-winning independent filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul is finally working on his eighth solo feature film, the first to be shot outside Thailand. His most notable recent production was a segment included in the dystopian anthology film Ten Years Thailand, based on a similar format revolving around Hong Kong (made in 2015) and shown in the Special Screenings section at Cannes last year.

South Korean filmmaker Jero Yun’s “Beautiful Days” has been announced as the opening title of the Busan International Film Festival, Korea’s biggest film festival.
Starring Lee Na-young, “Beautiful Days” depicts the story of a woman who abandons her husband and child to escape North Korea for a better life abroad. Martial arts drama, “Master Z: The Ip Man Legacy,” by Hong Kong’s Yuen Woo-ping will close the festival.
“‘Beautiful Days’ sees the dissolution and restoration of a family, and also that its subject is very timely,” said festival director Jay Jeon.
For its twenty third edition, the Busan film festival has selected 323 films from 79 countries. That includes 115 world premieres and 25 international premieres.
The festival’s Gala Presentation section screens only three films this year. They are world premieres of Stanley Kwan’s “First Night Nerves” and Zhang Lu’s “Ode to the Goose,” and Tsukamoto Shinya’s “Killing.
