Hallyu star and director Jang Keun-suk’s film “The Great Legacy” has been invited to screen at the 20th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFAN), Tree J Company said Thursday.
The film is about a man whose father loses consciousness, leaving behind savings that can only be accessed by a bank book. The son obsesses over finding the bank book and neglects to take care of his father.
Jang made his directorial debut with a short film, “Do You Still Envy Such a Life?” in 2012. The film won a special award at the 2012 Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia.
This year’s BIFAN runs from July 21 to 31.
