Published

Soompi reports that Lee Chang-dong’s Possible Love became the first Korean film to win Venice’s Grand Jury Prize. The official festival list confirms it received the Silver Lion–Grand Jury Prize—the competition’s second-highest film honor, distinct from the Best Director Silver Lion.

The exact prize

The Venezia 83 jury awarded Possible Love the Silver Lion–Grand Jury Prize. It is the jury’s runner-up film honor; the separately named Silver Lion for Best Director went to Ilya Khrzhanovsky for DAU.

What comes next

Soompi lists a September 23 theatrical opening and a November 6 Netflix release. Its “first Korean film” framing refers specifically to the Venice Grand Jury Prize, not the first Korean film to win any Venice award.

Update note: Original source-read briefing adds specific context and evidentiary limits beyond the short feed summary.

Source check: Soompi matches the Biennale’s official awards list. The official jury result is one primary origin, so the corroboration confirms the exact award but does not add a multi-origin boost.
