Short! Short! Short!

Designed to fund short films created by talented young Korean filmmakers and encourage the production of Korean short films, Short! Short! Short! was one of the signature programs of Jeonju International Film Festival, along with Jeonju Digital Project.

Short! Short! Short! was launched in 2007 and continued until 2013. In 2009, the program took a step further and expanded its role beyond production support and began to focus on the ultimate goal of theatrical releases. As a result of great efforts, Show Me the Money, created by 10 independent directors for the 10th anniversary of Jeonju International Film Festival, Fantastic Theater, made by directors Lee Kyu-maan, Han Ji-hye, and Kim Tae-gon, as well as A Time to Love, created by directors Yang Ik-june and Boo Ji-young, were able to reach a wider audience in Korean theaters and received positive reviews.

Short! Short! Short! was a project that took the lead in developing and showcasing the possibilities and potential as well as the unique color and appeal of Korean short films. Contributing to the discovery and development of new stars and gifted directors in the Korean independent film scene, Short! Short! Short! provided an opportunity for the Korean film industry to clarify the identity of its short films and demonstrate their development potential.

Short! Short! Short! 2013

Beyond Asia and into Europe, past Africa to the Americas, Jeonju Digital Project has left its traces with world-renowned filmmakers across various continents. In 2013, Jeonju Digital Project decided to focus on Asia.

Jeonju Digital Project 2013: Strangers invited representative Asian filmmakers to Jeonju once again, after all-Asian projects in 2009 and 2012. Japan’s renowned independent filmmaker Kobayashi Masahiro, China’s cineaste Zhang Lu, who delved into ontological questions in his previous works, and Indonesia’s Edwin, the future of Asian cinema, have come together under the theme Strangers.

Kobayashi Masahiro has been active in the Japanese film scene since his feature debut Closing Time in 1996. In 2012, he served as a jury member for the International Competition at the Jeonju International Film Festival. His film Strangers When We Meet is a sequel to his 2007 work The Rebirth. Through a husband and wife who do not communicate verbally at all, the director paints a picture of two strangers bound together in the most intimate relationship. Interestingly, he used the silent film format in order to depict the strangers inherent in the characters.

Zhang Lu introduced his feature debut Tang Shi at the Jeonju International Film Festival and also served as a jury member for the Korean Feature Film Competition in 2009. His film Grain In Ear was screened at La Semaine de la Critique at the Cannes Film Festival as well. Having established himself as an auteur who has worked in Korea and China, ZHANG Lu presents strangers who live in Seoul through his first documentary Scenery. Observing the city and the people inside, he asks through the film, “Who isn’t a stranger here?”

Edwin, who came to Jeonju International Film Festival with short films in 2008 and 2011, became a promising filmmaker in Asian cinema when his second feature Postcards From The Zoo competed for the Golden Bear at Berlin International Film Festival 2012. In Someone’s Wife In The Boat Of Someone´s Husband, Edwin spins a tale of mystery against the backdrop of beautiful Indonesian landscape. The film tells the story of Marina, a stranger who visits the faraway island of Sawai in search of a legend and meets a stranger who coincidentally has the same name as the hero of the legend.
Using both fiction and documentary styles, Jeonju Digital Project 2013: Strangers stares into the faces of “strangers” and brings the sentiments and emotions of our time to the screen.
