---

Samaria, an abstract drama told in three parts, was the winner of the 2003 Silver Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival for director Ki-duk Kim. The film's plot involves two teenage friends who turn to prostitution as a way to finance a European trip. When one of them dies, the other must try to redeem herself. Famous for making low-budget films, Ki-duk Kim made Samaria for an estimated cost of 500 million won. Here in New York, Ki-duk Kim's Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...and Spring was recently screened at the Lincoln Center/MoMA New Directors/New Films Festival to great critical acclaim.
