Overview
The Jeonju International Film Festival (JIFF), established in 2000 in Jeonju, South Korea, is a leading non-competitive platform dedicated to independent, experimental, and alternative cinema. It is notable for being Korea's most important hub for discovering new voices and artistic risk in filmmaking, distinguishing itself from industry-focused festivals like Busan by prioritizing curatorial exploration over commercial networking.
