Chairman Park said at a press conference for the 30th Busan International Film Festival held at the conference room on the 3rd floor of Beef Hill at the Haeundae-gu Film Center in Busan on the 29th, `The rich festival is scheduled to change from a non-competitive film festival to a competitive film festival from this year.'
At the meeting, Chairman Park and new Executive Chairman Jeong Han-seok had time to introduce the new changes and future directions of the rich national system, which marked its 30th anniversary. First of all, Chairman Park said, `When I finalized the festival after last year's festival, I told you that the rich festival will change from non-competitive film festivals to competitive film festivals starting this year. Since all domestic film festivals are modeled on the rich festival, almost all of them are non-competitive film festivals. We also put a lot of thought into preparing for the competition film festival" he said.
Regarding the background of the final election of the new executive chairman Chung, he explained, `As you know well, we have been running the vice-presidential system for two years without the executive chairman,' `We have held a total of four contests for the executive chairman so far this year, and finally selected Jeong Han-seok, the vice-presidential Korean film programmer.'
Meanwhile, the 30th Busan International Film Festival will be held from September 17 to 26 at the Film Center in Haeundae-gu, Busan.
