“Aloners,” a critically-acclaimed debut feature about loneliness, is set to receive a theatrical release in North America in early 2022. All rights in the region were acquired by Film Movement. The…

The film, directed by South Korea’s Hong Sung-eun, reflects on the growing phenomenon of one-person households and tells a tale of an anti-social woman who is forced out of her shell.

It was produced by the Korean Academy of Film Arts and represented in international markets by M-Line Distribution. Film Movement plans a theatrical outing in North American theaters that will be followed by releases to all leading home entertainment and digital platforms., where it won the CGV Arthouse Award Distribution Support prize and the best actress prize for Gong Seung-yeon. Gong also won the Korean Association of Film Critics prize for best new actress in the central role.

“Given the state of the world, ‘Aloners’ is wholly relatable ode to modern loneliness no matter where you live,” said Michael Rosenberg, Film Movement president. “Along with an incredible turn by her lead actress, Hong has created a film certain to resonate with all moviegoers.” In the film, Jina is the top employee at a credit card call center, though she leads a repetitive and monotonous life and resides alone in a small unit of an anonymous apartment building. She is a loner who has not only chosen seclusion, but shows no interest in interacting with those around her, including the annoying next-door neighbor who’s constantly trying to make contact while smoking in the hallway.

Other titles recently licensed by Film Movement include “Fanny – The Right to Rock,” “Belgian Oscar contender “Playground,” and French actress Sandrine Kiberlain’s feature film debut “A Radiant Girl.”
