The New York Asian Film Festival will present the North American premiere of Na Hong-Jin‘s “Hope” as the centerpiece of its 25th edition, with Neon distributing the film in North America beginning Sept. 9.

The screening takes place July 20 at the SVA Theatre in New York, where Na will appear for an introduction and Q&A.

Na will also receive NYAFF’s Daniel A. Craft Award for Excellence in Action Cinema – the festival’s honor for filmmakers working at the peak of the genre, named for founder Dan Craft, who died in 2013. Past recipients include Dante Lam and Yuen Woo-ping. “Hope” is Na’s first film in a decade, following “The Wailing.”
