On November 20, the 41st Golden Cinema Film Festival was held in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province.
The movie “The Book of Fish” won five awards, including the Cinematographer Gold Award, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Film, and Best New Actress. Best Actor and Best Actress were won by Sol Kyung Gu (“The Book of Fish”) and Chun Woo Hee (“Waiting for Rain”).
Sol Kyung Gu said, “It feels like it’s been a long time since I was at the Golden Cinema Film Festival. I’ve done a lot of movies, but when I think about the first award I’ve won, I think it was here. Thank you for always inviting me here.” Chun Woo Hee said, “I’m nervous because this is my first time at an awards show in a while. After winning the Popularity Award with ‘Han Gong Ju,’ I’m finally back at the Golden Cinema Film Festival. I’m grateful for this award because I know how valuable and affectionate the choices of the cinematographers are. I am here because of director Jo Jin Mo, cinematographer Yoo Il Seung, and the production staff’s efforts in ‘Waiting for Rain.’ I want to be an actor that people in the movie industry want to work with.”
Krystal won the Cinematographers’ Choice Popularity Award for her role in “More Than Family.” She said, “It’s an honor to have won this award for my first movie. Because I was chosen by cinematographers, it feels more meaningful. I will recognize this as motivation to work harder at acting.”
