- The 26th JEONJU International Film Festival announces an open call for entry to its International Competition.
- Submission for International Competition is now open and available until January 2, 2025 (Thu).
The 26th JEONJU International Film Festival (JEONJU IFF, Festival Co-Director MIN Sungwook and JUNG Junho) has opened the entries for the 26th edition of the International Competition on Thursday, November 7 2024. The entry form will be accepted from the start date until Thursday, January 2 2025 at 17:00 (KST).

The JEONJU IFF places no limitations on genre for the International Competition, which covers a range of genres, from narrative to documentary, experimental, and animation. However, entry must be completed after January 2024 and require an Asian premiere, which means that the film should not have been screened in any Asian country. (In the case of films produced in Asian countries, exemption is only granted if they have not been shown in any Asian country other than their country of origin.)

Submissions can be submitted online via the JEONJU IFF entry website (https://entry.jeonjufest.kr/en) free of charge. The finalists will be announced following internal discussions and preliminary review. Final selections for the International Competition will be notified individually in March. For more details, you can inquire to the Program Team of JEONJU IFF (submission@jeonjufest.kr)

The 26th JEONJU IFF will be held in Jeonju City for 10 days from April 30 (Wed) to May 9 (Fri), 2025. The 25th JEONJU IFF screened 232 films from 43 countries, and the films are being invited to leading film festivals.
