Featuring actor Ryoo Seung-bum, “The Net” follows a North Korean fisherman who finds himself drifting toward South Korean territory. This is the seventh time Kim has been invited to the Venice film festival.
Meanwhile, Kim is currently working on a war film “Who is God,” which recently received a 250 million-yuan ($37.6 million) investment from a Chinese production company.
The 73rd Venice International Film Festival, which is the oldest film festival in the world, will take place from Aug. 31 to Sept. 10.
