Korean filmmaker Lee Jeong-hong’s A Wild Roomer and Shivamma, from India’s Jaishankar Aryar, were the winners of the New Currents Awards at the close of an encouragingly busy Busan International Film Festival (BIFF, October 5-14).
A Wild Roomer, about a 30-something drifter, picked up multiple honours at the festival, also taking the NETPAC Award, Critic b Award and KBS Independent Film Award.
Set in an Indian village, Shivamma is about an illiterate woman who falls for a pyramid selling scheme. The Kim Jiseok Awards went to Scent Of Wind, from Iranian filmmaker Hadi Mohaghegh, which also played as BIFF’s opening film, and Alteration from Uzbekistan’s Yalkin Tuychiev.
Other winners included Aamir Bashir’s The Winter Within, which took the KB New Currents Audience Award, and Vinay Shukla’s documentary While We Watched, which was presented with the Busan Cinephile Award.
