The Power of
the Silver
Screen
The 19th Jeonju International Film Festival opens
in South Korea and the world’s eyes turn toward
arts, culture, politics, and entertainment.

Films are often
regarded as a form
of entertainment
and an escape from
reality—through fantastical
elements, viewers can stretch
their imaginations and indulge
in dreams one would never
have thought possible. This
is true on so many levels, yet
films also have another deeper,
more significant role: to ignite
discourse. Films invite people
to think about what is and what
should be. This is one of the
main goals of this year’s Jeonju
International Film Festival
(JIFF), with its slogan, “Outlet for
Cinematic Expression,” making
the city a platform for films from
all over the world.
