Kim Ki-duk
In a bid to make it onto the short list at the next Academy Awards, Kim Ki-duk has taken to promoting his Golden Lion prize-winning film “Pieta” in the United States. The renowned Korean flick that won the coveted prize at this year’s Venice Film Festival will be screened at the American Film Institute’s annual festival, which will start tomorrow.
