BUSAN, South Korea: From a Singaporean widow on a K-drama voyage of self-discovery to a mixed-race Thai teen seeking her identity, the movies vying for the key prize at the Busan International Film Festival showcase a diverse array of Asian experiences.
Ten films are in the running for the high-profile New Currents award at Asia’s largest film festival, which will hand out two prizes of $30,000 to first- or second-time Asian directors on Friday.
