A friendly meeting...Kim Go-eun ♥ Goo Exchange, breathing at the Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival, which is about to resume after four years



In October, the Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival, which returns for the first time in four years, unveiled a still cut of a trailer that catches the eye with the appearance of Kim Go-eun and Koo Dong-hwan.

The still cut released showed a woman (Kim Go-eun) and a man (old exchange) who faced each other in a small repair workshop. Director Eom Tae-hwa, who directed the trailer, told Cine21 that the story was "a story that is like a melodrama to reunite after four years" and that the intention to direct was "How do you feel about the Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival?" which will resume soon.

Director Eom Tae-hwa, a visualist with a unique sense who directed 'Covered Time''Concrete Utopia' after winning the grand prize for 'Forest' at the Mise-en-sen Short Film Festival, will direct, and the trailer for the 21st Mise-en-sen Short Film Festival, starring Kim Go-eun and Koo Dong-hwan, will be released for the first time in early August on Naver TV.




The Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival began in 2002 with executive chairman Lee Hyun-seung and current directors leading the Korean film industry participating as judges to discover and support new sensations of films that cross genres.

It has established itself as a 'commercial movie industry' by producing star directors representing Korea, such as 'Roaring Currents' Kim Han-min, 'Gokseong' Na Hong-jin, and 'War on Crime' Yoon Jong-bin, and star actors such as Gu Dong-hwan, Kim Go-eun, Ahn Jae-hong, Jung Yu-mi, Choi Woo-sik, and Han Ye-ri.

The Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival, which has been famous for more than 20 years, is set to resume after four years of rest after the 20th anniversary of 2021. The 21st Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival, which starts anew, will feature seven directors: Um Tae-hwa, Yoon Ga-eun, Lee Sang-geun, Lee Ok-seop, Jang Jae-hyun, Cho Sung-hee and Han Jun-hee as executive members.
