Korean film makers today said that they will call off their boycott of the Busan International Film Festival.
The decision means that the 21st edition festival will go ahead in October, albeit on a smaller scale than in previous years.
The move follows the acceptance on Friday (July 22) of amendments to the festival’s regulations. Those changes were followed by meetings on Monday between chairman Kim Dong-ho and festival director Kang Soo-youn with industry representatives in order to end the stand off. Kim was drafted in as chairman in May as the first concrete step in the healing process.
In a message sent to the Korean industry Tuesday (July 26), the ‘Korean Film Group’s Emergency Committee for Defending Biff’s Independence’ said that it would now halt its action. While discussions will continue, the group called the changed regulations “a victory for film makers.”
