Zi,” the latest film from Kogonada, will have its Asian premiere at the Busan International Film Festival in the Icons section. Following the unveiling of the festival’s program, Atnine Film has been confirmed as the film’s Korean distributor.

Shot over three weeks on the streets of Hong Kong, “Zi” stars Michelle Mao, Haley Lu Richardson and Jin Ha as three wandering souls caught in a night that ripples across time. The story follows a young woman who, visited by visions of her future self, encounters a stranger whose appearance reshapes the course of her evening – and possibly her life. The film follows “Columbus” and “After Yang,” continuing the director’s run as one of contemporary American independent cinema’s most distinctive voices.
