The Korean film "Paju" by director Park Chan-ok will be the opening film at the International Film Festival Rotterdam opening in January.

It's the first time that Rotterdam has selected a Korean film as a festival opener.

During the 2003 festival, Park won the Tiger Award as one of the festival’s top three young directors for her film "Jealousy is My Middle Name."

Other South Korean directors who have won the award include Hong Sang-su for the film "The Day a Pig Fell into the Well" and Yang Ik-jun for his film "Breathless."

The European festival of independent, low-budget films launched in 1972.
