Korea, China, HK joint film to show at PIFF

A romantic comedy film jointly produced by three Asian countries will be presented at Pusan International Film Festival (PIFF), according to a press release on Wednesday.

A music video of "My Ex-Wife's Wedding", a joint production venture by Korea, China and Hong Kong, will be shown at PIFF Academy's Korea-China Movie Forum segment, Korean producer iHQ said in the statement.

The forum, to be held October 10 at Pusan Grand Hotel, will be attended by Jeong Hoon-tak, CEO of Korea's entertainment agency iHQ, Korean director Kim Seong-soo and two CEOs from Chinese and Hong Kong production companies, who will discuss the partnership between Korea and China.

Financed by five production companies from the three countries, "Wedding" was directed by Hong Kong filmmaker Lee Kunglok and stars three Chinese actors -- Chen Kun, Yuan Quan, Lu Yi -- and Hong Kong actress Debbie Goh.

"Wedding", based on a popular Chinese novel, is a story about a divorced man who introduces his ex-wife to his best friend.

The movie is currently in post-production and will be released in April 2010.
