For those who love movie soundtracks, the fifth annual Jecheon International Music and Film Festival (http://www.jimff.org/) can fulfill their desire for both movies and music this August.
On the shores of Cheongpung Lake, located in the city of Jecheon, Chungcheongbuk-do (North Chungcheong Province), 89 films from 35 countries on the theme of music or musicians will be screened at Jecheon International Music and Film Festival for six days from Aug. 13.
The opening film is "The Soloist" by Joe Wright, who also made "Pride & Prejudice" (2005) and "Atonemen... |More
