| Thinking of Post-Festival |
SIFF keeps expanding the base of independent films by working on a variety of projects such as INDIE PICNIC (screening tour), DVD/Blu-ray production, book publishing, ACTOR’S PROJECT(acting competition), film distribution and marketing business. By introducing acclaimed international independent films, it also acts as a bridgehead for global networking. |
| Invitation & Exchange of International Independent Films |
SIFF introduces acclaimed international independent films, which can inspire film creators in Korea. On the other way round, SIFF also introduces Korean independent films to overseas platforms through INDIE PICNIC and some projects. As a hub of Asian independent films and the largest Korean independent film festival, SIFF tries to establish the bridgehead to extend the boundaries by building the international network. |
