Top movie actors including Lee Byeong-heon, Choi Min-sik, Jang Jin-yeong, Kim Hye-soo and Im Chang-jeong will hold a charity bazaar entitled "MGFF Market" to raise funds for independent films. The bazaar will be held concurrently with the 5th Mise-en-scene's Genres Film Festival, which kicks off June 23 at 6 p.m. at the CGV Yongsan in Seoul. The actors who are organizing the event were invited to the festival as its jurors.
The MGFF Market will offer customers the DVDs of movies that have been invited to compete at the festival as well as the private possessions of film directors and famous movie actors. All the proceeds from the event will be donated to promoting independent films.
Lee Byeong-heon has donated his antique camera that he purchased at a flea market in Russia in 1998, while Jang Jin-yeong donated her leather coat and sunglasses. Other actors made significant donations from their possessions as well. The market will be held until June 24 in front of the CGV Yongsan's ticket office on the sixth floor.
At the previous Mise-en-scene's Genres Film Festival, Lee Byeong-heon was appointed as honorary juror of action and thriller films, Jang Jin-yeong of melodrama films, Choi Min-sik of social drama films, Kim Hye-soo of horror and fantasy films, and Im Chang-jeong of comedy films.
