The film Face (written and directed by Yeon Sang-ho, produced by Wowpoint (WOWPOINT), co-produced and distributed by Plus M Entertainment), which has received overwhelming praise as the return of the "primordial Yeoniverse," released behind-the-scenes stills capturing the vivid excitement and special moments at the 50th Toronto International Film Festival.
After its theatrical release on Sept. 11, Face, which has been drawing strong reactions day after day, tells the story of Im Young-gyu, who became a master in the seal-carving field despite being blind, and his son Im Dong-hwan, who lived with him, as they investigate the mystery of their mother's death that had been buried for 40 years. The film was invited to the 50th Toronto International Film Festival's Special Presentation section, and behind-the-scenes stills capturing the colorful local appearances of Park Jeong-min, Kwon Hae-hyo, Shin Hyun-bin, Im Seong-jae, Han Ji-hyun and director Yeon Sang-ho at the festival were released, drawing attention.
At the red carpet event held on the evening of Sept. 9 local time before the world premiere screening, the lead cast members of Face, who received warm welcomes from audiences gathered from around the world and gave generous fan service, conveyed the excited atmosphere of the scene.
At the official photocall, director Yeon Sang-ho and the actors posed amid a barrage of camera flashes and intense press interest, responding with composure while drawing attention with the suits and dresses prepared for the Toronto International Film Festival. In addition, at the stage greeting held at the Princess of Wales Theatre, which seats 1,721 and was filled for the world premiere screening, the director and actors received cheers and applause from film fans around the world, showing their excitement.
In addition, the actors carrying out promotional schedules in Toronto also attracted attention. As they moved through various locations and actively engaged with local audiences, their warm interactions stirred goodwill, and reports say their passion for the film heated up Toronto.
