Jeonju Cinema Project (JCP), a feature film financing & production program, has gained ground as Jeonju IFF’s independent brand that encompasses flim industry‘s fields such as investment, production and distribution. Furthermore, Jeonju Project Market’s development support for superb Korean feature films and documentaries, the business of distributing independent film contents and the Jeonju Cine Complex represent Jeonju IFF’s vision to create a constant and new added value beyond the film festival.Launched in 2000 as a non-competitive film festival that adopts partial competition, the JEONJU International Film Festival (JEONJU IFF) introduced independent and experimental films at the forefront to shine a spotlight on the alternative movements of contemporary film art.
