korean film festivals
You may have heard of Pusan International Festival (PIFF), Asia's best and largest, where this cute pic was taken. This was November 2006.
After my birthday celebrations, I went to the Jeonju Film Festival (JIFF), the indies film fest of Korea. Next week, the Seoul International Cartoon Animation Festival (SICAF) will be held. And there's the festival where the Philippine's Gagamboy won the grand prize, the Pucheon International Fantastic Film festival (PIFan), Korea's most controversy-laden fest, after original organizer protested and started the Real International Fantastic Film festival.
On a related note, 2 Korean films are in competition in the ongoing Cannes Film Festival. Will there be an Old Boy (Korean film which won Cannes grand prize before) repeat this year?
