The Gijon festival, which met its 55th edition this year, takes place annually in Spain’s northern coastal city.
“On the Beach at Night Alone” is Hong’s 19th feature and competed for the Golden Bear in the main competition section at Berlin.
The plot follows an actress who contemplates on love and life after an affair with a director.
The film received much attention here for mirroring the lives of Kim and director Hong, who made their relationship public last year.
Kim has starred in acclaimed films such as Park Chan-wook’s “The Handmaiden” (2016) and four Hong Sang-soo films since her television debut in 1999.
