[Korea.net News, Culture / Events, March 5 2008] Jeonju Int'l Film Festival to be largest this year

Jeonju, a city in southwestern Korea, is known for its welcoming people and some of Korea’s loveliest surviving pre-modern architecture and folk culture.

Once a year, this city with the heart of a small town gets more cosmopolitan. Around late April or early May, the city hosts the Jeonju International Film Festival, which, by size, is second only to Busan’s.

If you are overwhelmed by the Busan International Film Festival and feel that the festival feels somewhat commercial, the Jeonju International Film Festival (JIFF) is just for you.
