The 22nd Jecheon International Music & Film Festival (JIMFF) is set to offer a unique cultural experience next month as Asia's sole international film festival dedicated to music, featuring its largest lineup to date with 189 films from 45 countries.
The annual festival will run for six days from Sept. 3-8 in Jecheon, North Chungcheong Province.
To broaden its scope, the festival will divide its competition section into two tracks — one dedicated to music-focused films to strengthen its core identity, and another for general feature films to expand cinematic diversity.
Under the new system, the event will present the International Music Film Competition for music-focused works, while the new International Competition welcomes films of any genre or subject.
