We would be pleased to meet with you to discuss further about any of our titles in detail. To arrange a meeting with us, please complete the form below with 2 meeting times and we will get back to you shortly to confirm. Tel: +82-2-737-1185/6 Fax: +82-2-737-1184 E-mail: soojin(a)mirovision.com.

Date: Time: We look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Int’l Division / Mirovision Inc. Mirovision at 2005 Berlin Int’l Film Festival / EFM Green Chair 2005 Berlin Film Festival, Panorama Directed by PARK Chul-soo 98 min. / 2004 / Drama / Korea Cast: Suh Jung (‘The Isle’ ‘Spider Forrest’), SHIM Ji-ho Screening - Feb. 12 / 23:00 / Colosseum Feb. 18 / 21:30 / Zoo Palast 1 Feb. 19 / 13:30 / CinemaxX 7 From the acclaimed director <301, 302> After being arrested and sentenced to community service for corrupting a minor, beautiful, enigmatic Moon-hee(SUH Jung) attempts to ditch handsome young Hyun. But Hyun refuses to disappear, and the two, magnetically drawn together, go on the lam, escaping to a hotel room where they rapturously discover each other through sex that is as raw and intimate as any seen on screen. As the film progresses, so, too, does their trust in each other and their confidence in their unorthodox choices. PARK brings an extraordinary intelligence, sensitivity, and spirited lightness to the story of an egalitarian relationship that continuously defies expectation as the lovers test the frontiers of sensation, communicate in ineffable ways, and improvise an unconventional family. Full of stylistic surprises and magical moments, Green Chair is a celebration of living in the moment and a profound meditation on maturity and innocence.— Caroline Libresco from Sundance 2005 Red Eye Directed by KIM Dong-bin(‘Ring’ Korea) TBA / 2005 / Horror / Korea Cast: JANG Shin-young(‘Springtime’), SONG Il-kuk Market Screening - Feb 10 / 14:00 / Cine Star 6 Feb 11 / 13:30 / Cine Star 6 A ride to your unforgettable tragedy Life is a train heading to the last station called Death. 2004. 07.16 11:50 pm.

Now, Lasko finds himself caught in another kind of war—with a criminal mastermind, Jurek, and his group of thieves who have stolen a deadly virus in order to sell it to a terrorist group for sixty million euro. After a daring and ruthless heist from a government facility, the thieves disguise themselves as clergy and then hide out on the train bound for Lourdes that Lasko is on. Also on the train are Sandra and Sven, her desperately ill son, who is going to Lourdes in hope of a miracle cure for his deadly blood disease. Lasko befriends them when they are separated from the boy's father by the abrupt departure of the train, and they join Lasko and his two priest friends, Gladius and Matthias, in their compartment. The situation turns desperate when Jurek and his gang kill Lasko's two friends and then threaten to release the virus if the authorities attempt to arrest them. Now Lasko must avenge his friends' deaths and don the robe of the Pugnus Dei, a secret paramilitary organization organized by the Vatican, despite his vow never to resort to using force to achieve his ends. A raging battle in, under, and on top of the train ensues as Lasko must take out the criminals and administer the vaccine before they release the deadly virus. In a last ditch effort, the authorities divert the train toward a fuel depot in an attempt to keep the virus from infecting the city of Lourdes. All eyes are on the speeding train where the lives of the hundreds of passengers hang in the balance as it races toward a fiery end. Will Lasko overcome the enormous odds as he battles the criminals and their fatal virus? The authorities wait with baited breath, the passengers are in a panic, and audiences hang on for dear life as the action-packed story moves to its ultimate resolution. It will take a miracle to save the people on the pilgrim train to Lourdes when the criminal mastermind Jurek and his evil cohorts take over the train and release a deadly virus.
