The 26th Jeonju International Film Festival, co-executive directed by Min Sung-wook and Jung Jun-ho, will introduce 9 teams (Travis Wilkerson, Andersgrøn Film, Declan Clarke, Marie Losier, Nicolas Pereda, El Pampero Cine, Let's Love, Ted Fendt, Radu Jude) and creators who have found their own alternatives in film production and aesthetics through a special exhibition titled "Towards Possible Films."
Films that resist the increasingly massive structure of the film and video industry, but offer the possibility of creating different films with small resources and many ideas and creativity, are scheduled to meet audiences.
Moon Sung-kyung, the programmer who planned the section, stated, "Due to recent repeated changes and issues, the film industry is gradually giving up even the fundamental spirit it has maintained so far, and the inequality of power concentration in the real world is becoming more evident," and pointed out the current reality of the film industry. He further mentioned, "Directors are more dedicated to the capital needed to make films than to the films themselves, and making the most important film seems to be a subsequent task." He explained, "This special exhibition, 'Towards Possible Films,' introduces those who have found solutions in this reality and their works."
A masterclass by Montse Triola, a producer who has produced all of Albert Serra's films and co-produced Alain Guiraudie's "Staying Vertical" and Jeonju Cinema Project's "Afterwater," will also be held on May 5th at Megabox Jeonju Gaeksa 1. He will share the process of achieving recognition and awards at prestigious film festivals such as Cannes, Locarno, and San Sebastian with films made by Albert Serra using unique and independent production methods.
The Jeonju International Film Festival also announced the publication of a booklet titled "Towards Possible Films," which contains the stories and artistic worlds of those heading towards possible films. A book talk to celebrate the publication of "Towards Possible Films" will also be held during the festival.
