Busan Film Festival Confirms Jung Hanseok As Festival Director
The Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) has confirmed Jung Hanseok will be its new festival director.
His appointment was finalized after a general meeting held today at the Busan Cinema Center in Soeul, Korea following a two-stage open recruitment process. “Jung Hanseok is a highly qualified candidate with a deep understanding of the festival’s internal and external landscape,” said the Executive Recommendation Committee in a statement. His appointment follows BIFF experienced a tumultuous few years for BIFF, during which four managers resigned followed by a deeply unpopular decision by then-BIFF chairman Lee Yong-kwan to appoint a close associate, Cho Jongkook, as Managing Director alongside Artistic Director Huh Moonyung.
