- Launched in 2000, Jeonju International Film Festival is one of the biggest Asian film festivals and the most important supporter of experimental and adventurous projects in Korea. JIFF is often compared with Busan IFF. While Busan IFF pursues economies of scale and aims to become ‘Cannes’ in Asia, Jeonju sets its stance more of Locarno or Rotterdam IFF. While Busan IFF attracts its audience with ‘bling-bling’ tourists’ spots in Haeundae, Busan that about half its audience are tourists, Jeonju is a traditionally beautiful city like Firenze, Italy that JIFF allures hard-core, serious moviegoers with the quality of its films.The pursuit of JIFF, DISCOVERY of films, could be seen in its very beginning. In the first edition of JIFF, debut films of Darren ARONOFSKY, Fernando MEIRELLES, and Alejandro González IÑÁRRITU were introduced to Korea. For the first time in Asia, Jiff high-lighted early works of Béla TARR, Ulrich SEIDL, Laurent CANTET as well. The winners of Jeonju IFF’s International Competition Section include Matias PIÑEIRO, YING Liang, Denis CÔTÉ, Apichatpong WEERASETHAKUL, SUWA Nobuhiro, John AKOMFRAH and MIIKE Takashi.Another interesting point of Jeonju is that it produces movies as well. Directors that once invited to Jeonju IFF, were later invited again to Jeonju Digital Project (JDP) which is a set of three digital shorts. JDP granted financial support to masters for their short films and world-premiered those pieces in Jeonju. The former directors ran JDP include ZHANG Yuan, JIA Zhang Ke, TSAI Ming Liang, SUWA Nobuhiro, Shinji AOYAMA, BONG Joon-Ho, Apichatpong WEERASETHAKUL, Shinya TSUKAMOTO, Darezhan OMIRVAEV, Pedro COSTA, Mahamat-saleh HAROUN, HONG Sang-soo, Lav DIAZ, Denis CÔTÉ, Jean-Marie STRAUB, Claire DENIS, José Luis GUERIN, YING Liang, Edwin, ZHANG Lu, KOBAYASHI Masahiro.Celebrating its 15th edition, JDP has boosted scale up to Feature-length with GYÖRGY Pálfi(Hungary), PARK Jung bum/SHIN Yeon-shick (Republic of Korea.)One of the other notable characteristics of JIFF is its experimental section called Expanded Cinema (formerly called Stranger than Cinema.) Expanded Cinema is possibly the best experimental film section in Asia that world-premieres new project of directors such as Peter KUBELKA, Peter TSCHERKASSKY, Harun FAROCKI, Artavazd PELESHIAN, James BENNING, Alexander KLUGE, Pere PORTABEELA, Raya MARTIN, Romuald KARMAKAR, and Jon JOST.CityJeonjuProgramOpening / Closing FilmCompetition- International Competition- Korean Competition- Korean Competition for ShortsJeonju Cinema Project: Every year, the Jeonju IFF showcases the latest independent feature films that benefited from its production support program.Frontline: Independent titles that tell bold and provocative stories.World Cinema: Films of various genres from around the worldMasters: The latest films from great directors.Korean CinemaExpanded Cinema: Films that attempt aesthetic novelty not only in their forms but also in their storycomposition and thematic expressionExpanded Plus: Section focused on artists from other artistic fields who use visual media to tell theirstories.Cinema Fest: A selection of films that combine artistic quality and popular appeal for all audiences.Midnight CinemaCinephile JEONJU: A retrospective section that revisits older films that are worth revisiting from the present point of view.Hommage: SHIN Su-won and Korean Women DirectorsLEE Chang-dong: The Truth of the InvisibleLegacy of Chungmuro, Taehung PicturesJ Special: Programmer of the Year: Three movies chosen by this year’s guest programmer, Director Yeon SanghoAwardsInternational Competition- Grand Prize: Given to one film competing in the International Competition with a cash prize of KRW 20 million and a trophy- Best Picture Prize: Given to one film competing in the International Competition with a cash prize of KRW 10 million and a trophy- Special Jury Prize: Given to one film competing in the International Competition with a cash prize of KRW 10 million and a trophyKorean Competition- Grand Prize: Given to one film competing in the Korean Competition with a cash prize of KRW 15 million and a trophy- Best Acting Prize: Given to two actors starring in films competing in the Korean Competition with a cash prize of KRW 5 million and a trophy, respectively- CGV Arthouse Award: Given by CGV Arthouse to two films competing in the Korean Competition with a cash prize of KRW 10 million and a trophy, respectively- Watcha's Pick - Feature: Given by Watcha to one film competing in the Korean Competition with a cash prize of KRW 10 million and a trophyKorean Competition for Shorts- Grand Prize: Given to one film competing in the Korean Competition for Shorts with a cash prize of KRW 5 million and a trophy- Best Director Prize: Given to one film competing in the Korean Competition for Shorts with a cash prize of KRW 3 million and a trophy- Special Jury Prize: Given to one film competing in the Korean Competition for Shorts with a cash prize of KRW 2 million and a trophy- Watcha's Pick - Short: Given by Watcha to five films competing in the Korean Competition for Shorts with a cash prize of KRW 1 million and a trophy, respectivelyOthers- Documentary Award: Given to one Korean feature documentary film with a cash prize of KRW 10 million and a trophy- J Vision Award: Given to one film in the Local Cinema with a cash prize of KRW 1 million and a trophy- NETPAC Award: Given by the Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema (NETPAC) to one Asian film in non-competitive sections of JEONJU IFF with an award and a trophyJIFF 2022: Korean Film Line Up
