    He didn't go to school, because only 50% of children in South Korea
    attended school, when he was a child. He used to repair cars until
    the age of 30, and watched the first film when he was 32. The
    film "Silence" changed his life and interrupted his silence in
    cinematography.

    The best known South Korean film director of all times Kim Ki-duk is
    in Yerevan at the invitation of the Golden Apricot 11th International
    Film Festival. Retrospective screening of his films will take place
    within the framework of the festival. During the Sunday opening
    ceremony Kim Ki-duk was granted the Parajanov Thaler Award.

    Kim began his career as a screenwriter and won the first prize in a
    scenario contest held by Korean Film Council in 1995. In the following
    year, Kim made his debut as a director with a low budget movie titled
    Crocodile (1996).

    In 2004, he received Best Director awards at two different film
    festivals, for two different films. At the Berlin International Film
    Festival, he was awarded for Samaritan Girl (2004), and at the Venice
    Film Festival he won for 3-Iron (also 2004). In 2011, his documentary
    film Arirang received an award for best film in the Un Certain Regard
    category from the Cannes Film Festival.

    In 2012, his film Pieta received the Golden Lion award at the Venice
    Film Festival, the first Korean film to receive a "best film" honor
    at one of the top three international film festivals - Venice, Berlin
    and Cannes.

    The director is visiting Armenia for the first time. He searched the
    web to learn about Armenia before the visit, and spent three hours
    this morning walking in the streets of Yerevan.

    Kim Ki-duk recognizes no rules and laws in art. the only thing
    he trusts is his feeling of fiction and style. He experiences new
    emotions in Armenia. He's surprised and grateful that his films are
    known in a country he has just discovered.

    The South Korean film director promised today to present his new film
    in Yerevan and performed a Koran folk song to conclude the meeting
    with Armenian art lovers.
