Film “Jeong-sun” (2021) by director Jeong Ji-hye won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2022 Rome Film Festival and lead actor Kim Kum-soon took home Best Actress.
The ceremony took place at the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome on Saturday.
“Jeong-sun” was the only Korean film among the 16 movies invited to compete at this year’s festival.
