Possible Love has been named a winner in the competition section of the 83rd Venice International Film Festival. It will begin screening in Korean theaters on September 23, 2026, followed by its worldwide Netflix release on November 6. Theatrical release dates in some overseas countries have been announced separately from Korea.
What awards did Possible Love receive at the Venice Film Festival?
According to the Venice Film Festival’s official announcement, Possible Love won the Silver Lion–Grand Jury Prize in the competition section. Yonhap News reported that it was the first Korean film to win in this category.
The Yonhap report also included the film’s FIPRESCI Prize win from the International Federation of Film Critics. The Silver Lion–Grand Jury Prize and the FIPRESCI Prize are separate awards and should not be presented as a single honor.
What is the film about, and who is in the main cast?
Possible Love has been described as a story in which the lives of a laid-off worker couple and a documentary-director couple intersect. The main cast includes Jeon Do-yeon, Sol Kyung-gu, Zo In-sung, and Jo Yeo-jeong. Readers checking the film’s subject matter and cast can use these two details to distinguish the title alongside the awards news.
How do the Korean and overseas theatrical schedules differ?
Netflix’s official announcement lists September 23, 2026, as the Korean theatrical release date. By contrast, the theatrical release date for the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Japan is October 23, 2026. October 23 therefore applies to those overseas markets and should not be read as the Korean theatrical release date.
| Release format | Announced date |
|---|---|
| Korean theaters | September 23, 2026 |
| Theaters in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Japan | October 23, 2026 |
| Worldwide Netflix release | November 6, 2026 |
What should viewers check in the release order?
The release schedule is divided into Korean theaters, theaters in selected overseas countries, and the worldwide Netflix release. Viewers in Korea waiting for a theatrical screening should use September 23 as their reference date, while viewers checking theatrical screenings in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Japan should use October 23. The theatrical release date is not the same in every country, and the Netflix release is scheduled for November 6.
