Directed by Young Man Kang, "AREX Airport Railroad" is about a man and a woman who first meet on an airport-bound train and develop a romantic relationship while traveling together.
"A First Trip" is about two grown-up sisters making a trip in search of their mother.
The two were among the 10 Korean titles selected from KWEB FEST for competition in the three-day festival held at Warner Bros. Studios in Hollywood.
