Korea's Mirovision has sealed a French deal on Hong Sang-soo's previous film, Woman On The Beach, which has been sold to Umedia.

Hong's current film, Night And Day, is screening in competition here at Berlin and is being sold directly by the producers, Bom Film Productions.

Woman On The Beach, which screened at the Toronto and Pusan film festivals last year, is currently being released in the US through New Yorker Films.

Mirovision, which is also a distributor in Korea and has been ramping up acquisitions of late, has also bought Korean rights to Boris Damast's Vivaldi, starring Joseph Fiennes and Gerard Depardieu, from Celsius Entertainment.

The company is also launching current Korean box office hit Once Upon A Time In Corea at the EFM and is seeking co-production partners for some of its upcoming projects, including cult manga adaptation Tomorrow News.
