Ginger is extended

1905 Film Network News Kang Shou-yeon, executive chairman of the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea, recently appeared at the 69th Cannes International Film Festival and revealed the preparations for this year's Busan Film Festival in an interview with the media.

Previously, due to the contradictions between Busan City and the film festival organizing committee, a number of Groups of Korean filmmakers also jointly stated that if the Busan city authorities prevented the Busan International Film Festival from being held freely, they would boycott this year's film festival. Therefore, it is doubtful whether this year's film festival can be successfully held. After that, Busan City also expressed its attitude of consultation, and it is expected to appoint Kim Dong-ho, former honorary executive chairman of the Busan Film Festival, as the new chairman of the organization.

Executive Chairman Jiang Shouyan told the media at Cannes, "Previously, because of many problems, the question of whether a film festival could be held has been opaque. But now it is safe to say that the Busan Film Festival will be held this year, which is also the happiest thing at present. Of course, there are still many problems to be solved after that. Previous problems have not progressed, and the filmmakers' resistance has not been resolved. None of the confirmed sponsors have yet. This is the current reality. But we're definitely going to host this year's festival. That's what matters from now on. ”

For the plan after that, Jiang Shouyan said: "After that, Chairman Jin Donghu will be the center to solve the problems one by one, but time is really running out." Whether it is a film selection person or a staff member, it is necessary to work with two or three times the efficiency. Although it is not possible to disclose specific plans to the media immediately, press conferences will be held in Seoul and Busan later. Specific plans will be made before the end of May, and I hope you will support them. ”

As for the feelings of coming to the Cannes Film Festival, Jiang Shouyan also said: "I have been hesitant to come before. Tickets were booked and cancelled. Later, when I heard that Chairman Kim Dong-hu had returned, I immediately rebooked my ticket and flew over. This time I met the presidents of many other national film festivals. This year's Busan Film Festival needs more than 300 films to be screened, and their help and recommendation are in great need. ”
