Sunday, 13 September 2026, 06:21 · 1 min read

South Korean director Lee Chang-dong's 'Possible Love' took the Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival (one of the world's top three film showcases, alongside Cannes and Berlin) on Saturday, marking the first Korean film to win any prize at the event since Kim Ki-duk's 'Pieta' claimed the Golden Lion in 2012. The film, which follows the intersecting lives of a laid-off worker and a documentary filmmaker, also earned the FIPRESCI Prize from international critics and drew a seven-minute standing ovation at its world premiere. Lee's first feature in eight years after 'Burning' (2018), the film is due in South Korean cinemas on September 23 and on Netflix from November 6.
