``Never Forever'' translates onto screen the language of love, through which Korean-American director Gina Kim hopes to connect with the audience. ``I wish my film will be a means of establishing mutual understanding with the public,'' she said during a press conference last Thursday at a Seoul theater.

Director Lee Chang-dong’s new movie “Secret Sunshine” was screened in competition at the Cannes International Film Festival on Thursday. Lee has been to Cannes before, when his work “Peppermint Candy” was picked for the festival’s Director’s Fortnight screenings. But it was the first time he has been invited to the official competition. In a press conference, Lee said he felt honored to have a work invited and was trying not to care about the decision of the jury. “I don’t like competition, so I tried to avoid competitive occasions even when I was at school.”
