CJES Production 'Jeonse Yeokjeon' Selected for Cannes Short Film Festival Non-Competitive Section

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] The film Jeonse Reversal has been selected for the Cannes Short Film Festival.

CJES Entertainment (CEO Baek Chang-joo) announced on the 6th, "Our production and investment work Jeonse Reversal (directed by Kwon Yang-heon) has been included in the non-competitive section of the Cannes Short Film Festival."

Jeonse Reversal depicts an ironic situation where a newlywed couple on the verge of divorce pretends to be a happy couple in front of prospective newlyweds in order to quickly receive and divide the deposit of their rented house.

Director Kwon Yang-heon, who directed the film Nine Days, wrote the screenplay and directed the film, starring newcomers Oh Ha-ni, Seo Ji-hoo, and Noeul member Lee Sang-gon.

Director Kwon Yang-heon self-assessed, "It is impressive that the story of our film, which contains Korean elements, resonated with audiences on the opposite side of the globe."

Jeonse Reversal will be released this year through domestic and international film festivals and OTT platforms, and will also be adapted into a play.

Meanwhile, CJES Entertainment has produced dramas such as Human Disqualification, Hometown, Welcome to Waikiki, Green Bean Flower, and films including Emergency Declaration (co-production), Citizen Deok-hee, and Owl. Its CG/VFX subsidiary Gulliver Studio participated in productions such as Squid Game and Method: Repetition.
