Crikey! Another announcement! The Discovery programme, for new and emerging film directors, features, notably, the international premiere of the box-office busting Korean megahit King and the Clown, the tale of an awkward love affair between the King of Korea, his concubine and a pair of (male) clowns, and the world premiere of Peter Schønau Fog’s Danish black comedy The Art of Crying, which follows protagonist Allan, an 11-year-old who commits “appalling acts” in order to save his psychotic milkman father’s business. Sounds like a laugh riot! 11 more titles are discussed in detail in the press release, available at TIFFG’s website.
