- The EBS International Documentary Festival (EIDF) celebrates its 20th anniversary this year since its launch in 2004. When it was started 20 years ago, among other general film festivals mainly focusing on feature films in Korea, EDIF was the only film festival based solely on documentaries. Since then, EIDF has opened a new chapter for international documentary film festivals nationwide. A documentary records various features of an era, such as the spirits of the times, social aspects, and different lifestyles. Documentary films, as one of the genres of media, whether they are shown through broadcast or shown in theaters based on the spirit of Cinéma Vérité, are considered to represent the spirit of the times in that they record and depict the phases of the times with a wide range of topics. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the EIDF will reflect on what went well and what could be improved so far to become a better film festival that continues revealing the spirit of the times and playing a role in leading the trend.CityGoyangProgramOpening FilmFestival Choice (Competition)International feature documentary competition.Contemporary Docs PanoramaDocumentaries that successfully capture the issues of our time that dominate our consciousness and the way the issues affect the society.Korean Docs PanoramaDocumentaries that act asjigsaw pieces to complete the whole puzzle needed to understand today's Korean societyInsight and InspirationDocumentaries that explore the truth of each individual across the spectrum of life and inspire audiences with life lessons and empathy for the lives of othersClose-Up IconA section that takes a magnifying glass to the lives of the iconic figures of an era.Short LettersDocumentary shorts showcase.H!-Docs ShowcaseSection consisting of the films produced through the ‘H!-Docs Pitch’ program, an EIDF production fund program launched in 2020 and sponsored by Hyundai Home Shopping to support the production of feature-length documentary projects in Asia, including Korea.Docu Cinema AgainA section showing three Korean feature documentaries that received a particularly positive response from viewers after they were broadcast on EBS as part of the EBS Docu Cinema monthly programEIDF RetrospectiveFive films selected among all the works screened at EIDF in its 20 years of existence.AwardsFestival Choice- Grand Prix (Documentary Goyang Award): KRW 10,000,000- Special Jury Award (2x): KRW 7,000,000- Audience Award : KRW 4,000,000
