Actress Jung Ryeo-won will be attending this year's BFI London Film Festival and San Diego International Film Festival with her latest film "The Woman in the White Car." The actress' agency, H& Entertainment, said that the thriller, in which Jung is the lead, has been invited to two international film festivals.
Jung will attend the screening of the film at the 66th edition of the London event, the largest international film festival in the United Kingdom, held from Oct. 5 to 16.
The film has been invited for the Thrill strand program of the festival and will have three screenings at the Prince Charles Cinema and the ODEON Luxe West End on Oct. 7 and 8. Tickets for all three screenings have sold out even before the opening of the festival.
The actress will then head to the United States for the 22nd San Diego International Film Festival, held from Oct. 19 to 23. She will be attending the festival's official events, including the red carpet event.
The thriller, led by newcomer Ko Hye-jin, revolves around a kindhearted, small town cop, Hyun-ju (Lee Jung-eun), and a mysterious, best-selling author, Do-kyung (Jung).
Do-kyung arrives at a hospital with her injured sister, who is believed to have been attacked by her fiance. But as Hyun-ju investigates the case, she finds out that the injured person is not really Do-kyung's sister and her suspicions increase as she finds more holes in Do-kyung's story.
The film was also invited to this year's Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival in July. Jung won the Korean Fantastic Actors Awards at the festival for her performance in the film.
