Renen Schorr's film The Loners will have its international debut at the Pusan International Film Festival in South Korea. The festival, which will run from October 8-16, is considered Asia's most important. Until recently, Pusan only screened Asian films in its competitions. This year, however, the new Flash Forward section of the festival will see 10 non-Asian films vie for a $20,000 prize. The Loners, a drama about two Russian soldiers sent to military prison, is currently up for 10 Ophir awards.
