EFP with Artistic Delegation <strong>and</strong> <strong>European</strong> Umbrella office at Pusan IFF<br />
<strong>European</strong> Cinema in South Korea:<br />
<strong>Directors</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Sales</strong> <strong>Agents</strong> <strong>Promote</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong><strong>Film</strong>s</strong><br />
Coming from as far apart as Icel<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> Pol<strong>and</strong>, Sweden <strong>and</strong> Portugal, 26 directors <strong>and</strong> actors will<br />
be present at the 15 th Pusan International <strong>Film</strong> Festival (PIFF, October 7-15) in South Korea with<br />
the support of <strong>European</strong> <strong>Film</strong> Promotion (EFP) <strong>and</strong> its member organisations to open a window on<br />
exciting stories from their home countries. Regarded as one of Asia's top film festivals, PIFF<br />
presents around 300 films, with almost half of them<br />
being international <strong>and</strong> world premieres <strong>and</strong> up to 100<br />
originating from Europe. In order to promote<br />
<strong>European</strong> films at this gateway to the Asian market, a<br />
record number of 31 companies from across Europe<br />
have registered at EFP's umbrella office located at the<br />
Asian <strong>Film</strong> Market. EFP's activities in Pusan are<br />
supported by the MEDIA Programme of the<br />
<strong>European</strong> Union.<br />
For the 13th year running, EFP will be supporting the<br />
presence of <strong>European</strong> films <strong>and</strong> artists in Pusan. The<br />
26 directors <strong>and</strong> actors will present their films in<br />
person in the various festival sections. Amongst them are the Icel<strong>and</strong>ic director Fridrik Thor<br />
Fridriksson talking about his film Mamma Gogo, <strong>and</strong> the German director Anne Linsel, who<br />
honours Pina Bausch in her documentary Dancing Dreams. One of the <strong>European</strong> stars invited by<br />
the festival is the French icon Juliette Binoche.<br />
PIFF is constantly striving for new visions to exp<strong>and</strong> its role as an internationally recognized<br />
cinema platform for films from the new generation. A special spotlight on the non-Asian cinema of<br />
talented debut filmmakers was created last year with the festival’s launching of the Flash Forward<br />
competition. In 2010, the festival promises an increase in diversity <strong>and</strong> depth for the ten selected<br />
<strong>European</strong> films <strong>and</strong> one Australian film competing for the Flash Forward Award.<br />

A special sidebar entitled “Czech <strong><strong>Film</strong>s</strong> Now: Cinema<br />
of Liberalism” will be commemorating the 20th<br />
anniversary of diplomatic relations between South<br />
Korea <strong>and</strong> the Czech Republic. The six selected films<br />
aim to foster greater underst<strong>and</strong>ing between the two<br />
countries that have some common political<br />
experiences.<br />
In response to the increasing interest from the South<br />
Korean festival audience <strong>and</strong> film industry in <strong>European</strong><br />
cinema, the festival <strong>and</strong> EFP work closely together to<br />
coordinate various presentations, film screenings <strong>and</strong><br />
press interviews. For the fourth year in a row, EFP is<br />
setting up an umbrella office for <strong>European</strong> sales agents <strong>and</strong> EFP member organisations at the<br />
Asian <strong>Film</strong> Market, held from October 10-13. 31 companies from 15 <strong>European</strong> countries will be<br />
present this year. Tying in with these facilities, EFP also offers <strong>Film</strong> <strong>Sales</strong> Support (FSS) for the<br />
