Launched in 2009, Jeonju Project Market is for Korean independent filmmakers, the place to come to introduce their new projects and get them off the ground and for industry delegates, to discover original, unique yet resonant stories to produce, invest in, or distribute. Jeonju Project Market aims to discover talents, facilitate independent film production in Korea, and support international promotion of Korean cinema especially the works we helped develop through Jeonju Project Promotion (JPP) and JPM Lab sessions by receiving scenarios from indie filmmakers through an open application each year, awarding grants of up to 10 million Korean won for new projects as well as works in progress, and bringing people on both the creative and business sides of the film industry together in one place during the film festival season.
Jeonju Project Market consists of three parts: Jeonju Project Promotion (JPP), where independent filmmakers can pitch in front of 800+ industry delegates to raise financing for their feature or documentary film projects; Industry Conference, where academic and industry practitioners discuss a wide range of topics relevant to the film industry in-depth; and Rising Cinema Showcase, which will be launched this year, where the directors are invited to pitch their films presented at the Jeonju International Film Festival’s Korea Cinemascape Section to representatives from distribution companies to secure distribution.
< An Omnivorous Family's Dilemma >, one of the documentary projects Jeonju Project Market has supported in 2011, was recently invited to the 65th Berlin International Film Festival’s Culinary Cinema Section and will get a theatrical release in early 2015. < Mrs. B, a North Korean Woman > presented at Jeonju Project Promotion in 2014 was introduced to international co-finance and production market at the IDFA (International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam) Forum’s Central Pitch in 2014.
Jeonju Project Market takes place for 3 days during the Jeonju International Film Festival season in the host city of Jeonju.
