Jeonju Digital Projects make way into festival circuit
Another Jeonju Digital Project is about to make its way around the international film festival circuit.
Following the invitation of The Avian Kind to Moscow International Film Festival, Gyorgy Palfi’s Free Fall has confirmed the invitation to Karlovy Vary International Film Festival's official competition section. The Jeonju Digital Project, which used to support only short films, turned its focus to features this year, which received many interest and positive feedback from around the globe.
The Jeonju Digital Project which provides financial support to films in need, selected PARK Jung-bum’s Alive, Gyorgy Palfi’s Free Fall and SHIN Yeon-shick’s The Avian Kind for 2014. Palfi’s film takes an aged woman who takes her own life from a 7th floor building. But she gathers herself up at the end of the fall and climbs up the stairs again, but the perspective changes to someone else. Through change of different rooms and genres, the film questions normality. Palfi’s previous works include Hukkle (2002), Taxidermia (2006), and Final Cut: Ladies and Gentlemen (2012).
Other than Free Fall, O Muel’s Golden Chariot in the Sky and Bong Joon Ho’s Snowpiercer will be part of the Karlovy Vary line-up. The festival will be held from July 4th until the 12th.
