전주국제영화제

JIFF, with its goal to lead ‘A Beautiful Change of the World through Cinema’ under the slogan, ‘Digital Alternative and Independence’ at its start in 2000, has always searched and introduced challenging and creative films which are distant from main stream films and made its position firm as one of the most recognized film festivals focusing on alternative and independent films in the world. Its representative programs include Jeonju Digital Project, where audiences can meet 3 directors, each of who possesses unique cinematic aesthetics; Short! Short! Short!, a project for Korean short film production; ‘Cinemascape’, a program that shows the trend of world’s contemporary films; and Retrospective, which offers a chance to explore the world of great masters’ films.
