Russian actor and filmmaker Vladimir Menshov, who serves as the head of the jury of the film fest, reportedly praised the film for its achievement.
Yang Min-jong, director of the Korea Culture Center in Moscow, received the honor on director Yi’s behalf during the ceremony on Monday, as the filmmaker could not attend.
