The Seoul Independent Film Festival 2008 will be held from December 11 through 19 at various theaters in Seoul. Having established in 1975, the 34-year-old film festival has fulfilled its mission of promoting the status of independent films in Korea. This year's slogan "Storm of Imagination" represents the role of independent films in today's society as a social critique and innovator.
This year's opening film will be "Let the Blue River Run", a story about two teenagers and their families in Yeonbyeon, China, near the North Korean border. The competition for full-length feature films will include award-winning "Land of Scarecrows", "A Camel Doesn't Leave Desert", "Exhausted", and "How to Live on Earth". The short film category boasts a crowded field this year with 28 entries, including "Seven Superheroes vs. Monster F" and "3PM, One Spring Day".
The festival will also show some noted films from abroad. Documentaries "The Deported" by Mahbub Alam and "LEE KYUNG-HAE" by Daniel Tromben Rojas" have been invited for Korean screening. French films "La Vie Nouvelle" and "Ma Mere" and a Japanese film entitled "Slave" are among the foreign films to be presented at the special screening session.
