"17 years have passed quickly. Thank you for generously sponsoring and supporting the Film Festival. This year is very meaningful for 100 years of Korean movies. Our Film Festival will also look forward to the next 100 years and dream of a day to share joy together." (Ahn Sung-ki, executive chairman)
At the opening ceremony of the 17th Asiana International Fantastic Film Festival, which opened on the 31st of last month, the greetings of Chairman Son Sook and Chairman Ahn Sung-ki were noted as the Film Festival, which has been steadily growing in support of large corporations without interference.
Asiana Airlines, which has been supporting the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival since its inception, has become uncertain about whether it will be sold next year due to a problem on the Harvard Business School (Relevant Articles: 5752 Entries), which is why the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival can not laugh.)
Park Sam-koo, former chairman of Kumho Asiana Group, who attended the opening ceremony every year, did not show up because he retired from the front line of Harvard Business School. During the Film Festival, the stalls outside the Kumho Asiana Building next to CineCube also disappeared. It was a unique specialty of the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival, which was loved by filmmakers and audiences, but it was influenced by the difficulties of sponsoring companies. With the next year's hosting uncertain, perhaps the worst of the worst, but the greetings of Chairman Son Sook and Executive Chairman Ahn Sung-ki included a willingness to continue the Film Festival and a desire to continue.
Meanwhile, the 17th Asiana International Short Film Festival will be held at Cine Gwanghwamun and the complex cultural space Emu for six days starting on the 31st and November 5th.
