Ulju Mountain Film Festival (UMFF)
As the only mountain film festival in Korea, the Ulsan Ulju Mountain Film Festival, created in 2015, aims to collect and introduce today’s important mountain films from around the world, as a platform to investigate the trends and flow of current mountain culture.
Another goal is to portray people as we live along with nature. There will be trials and conquests, cravings and adventures, challenges and failures - and also successes, conflict and coexistence. Amid it all, we will think about the never ending, nay, soaring life.
