Lee Chang-dong reflects as 'Possible Love' targets Academy Awards
Lee Chang-dong accepted the TIFF Ebert Director Award in Toronto while his new film 'Possible Love' continued a strong festival run after premiering at Venice and winning the Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize. The film had its North American premiere in Toronto and Netflix arranged a limited theatrical run in Korea from Sept. 23 ahead of a Nov. 6 global streaming launch, timed to meet the Academy's Sept. 30 cutoff for international feature eligibility. 'Possible Love' is South Korea's official submission for best international feature and is viewed as more likely for that category than best director.
