Reading Time: < 1 minuteSouth Korea’s Jeonju International Film Festival (JIFF) organizing committee and its chairman Kim Seung-su have appointed producer Lee Joondong the new festival director on 11 December.
Lee’s appointment will last for three editions starting with next year’s event, which runs 30 April to 9 May .
The country’s film industry was shaken last month when executive programmer Kim Young-jin, who had previously been the successor apparent to former festival director Lee Choong-jik, walked out with his two other core programming colleagues Lee Sangyong and Jang Byungwon over the issue of who would take the director role.
