Leesong Hee-il&#8217;s Huhwihaji anha / No Regret, which has been billed as the &#34;first gay film from South Korea&#34; (I&#8217;m not sure if that&#8217;s true), focuses on Sumin (Lee Young-Hoon), a young man who leaves the orphanage where he grew up to study art design in Seoul. After losing his job at a factory due to cutbacks, Sumin tries to make ends meet by working as a prostitute at a gay bar. Not long thereafter, he meets Jaemin (Lee Han), who comes from a rich and reactionary family. Things start well, but problems begin to arise&#8230;
A Regent release, No Regret is currently playing in New York City (Cinema Village) and in West Hollywood (Sunset 5), and is scheduled to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
In the Korea Times, Cathy Rose A. Garcia reports that the Korean Film Archive (KOFA) has screened the oldest surviving Korean film, the silent, black-and-white social drama Cheongchun&#8217;s Sipjaro.
Directed by An Jong-hwa, Cheongchun&#8217;s Sipjaro was first screened at Seoul&#8217;s Joseon Theater in September 1934. 
As per Garcia&#8217;s article, there are two other Korean films known to be older than Cheongchun&#8217;s Sipjaro (Crossroads of Youth): Uilijeogguto (Fight for Justice), screened on October 27, 1919; and the first dramatic Korean film, Weolha-ui Mangseo (The Vow Made Below the Moon), directed by Yun Baek-nam and screened in 1923. 
 Garcia states that KOFA doesn&#8217;t have prints of those two films, but I couldn&#8217;t quite figure out &#8212; since Cheongchun&#8217;s Sipjaro is hailed as [...]]]></description>

&#160;

Han Jae-rim&#8217;s violent gangster comedy-drama-action flick The Show Must Go On took top honors at the 28th Blue Dragon Awards. The film stars best actor winner Song Kang-ho &#8212; who also starred in last year&#8217;s Blue Dragon winner, The Host &#8212; as a small-time gangster trying to land his first big deal. At home, however, the tough gangster is put in his place by his fed-up wife. As the story progresses, things take [...]]]></description>

&#34;It&#8217;s almost strange that it&#8217;s the first ceremony,&#34; remarked French director Luc Besson at the 1st Asian Film Awards presentation held this evening at Hong Kong&#8217;s Convention and Exhibition Centre, as part of the 31st Hong Kong International Film Festival which kicked off last night.
&#34;Good films come from everywhere,&#34; added Besson. &#34;Artists are like mushrooms, a little sun, a little water and they grow, they don&#8217;t need passports, visas to create.&#34;
The South Korean sci-fi-horror, political suspense thriller, and comedy-drama (yup, it&#8217;s all that) Gwoemul / The Host came out as the big winner of the evening, with a total of four awards: best film, best actor (Song Kang-ho, left, as the film&#8217;s ditzy blond), best cinematographer (Kim Hyung-goo), and best [...]]]></description>

Paul Verhoeven&#8217;s Dutch underground thriller, Zwartboek / Black Book, has been chosen as the Netherlands&#8217; submission for the 2006 Best Foreign-Language Film Academy Award. Set in the fall of 1944, Zwartboek portrays the relationship between a young Jewish woman (Carice van Houten) and a high-ranking Gestapo officer (Sebastian Koch) while she seeks revenge for the murder of her family. Inspired by real events, the screenplay was written by Verhoeven and Gerard Soeteman.

South Korea has also selected its Academy Award submission: Wang-ui namja / King and the Clown, the story of a 16th-century male clown (Lee Jun-gi) caught between the affections of a despotic king (Jin-yeong Jeong) and a fellow performer (Kam Woo-seong), while arousing the jealousy of the king&#8217;s consort [...]]]></description>
