I am very excited to be attending the Jeonju International Film Festival on Sunday and Monday, May 2 and 3. Jeonju is about an 88-minute subway ride plus another 3.5-hour train ride from my city, and for that reason, I couldn't attend last year. That is, going up late on a Friday, seeing one day of films, and then coming home on Sunday seemed a bit much for even a film fanatic like me.
This year, though, our school is closing for three days during the festival, so I am happily taking advantage of that free time and going for a three-night stay. Jeonju is probably the third-largest film festival in Korea, and I have attended the top two in 2008 and 2009, and am all set to attend again this year.
Here are the films that I will see in Jeonju:
To be honest, I had no idea I could go to this festival until last week, and most films were sold out by then. But I was fortunate to find tickets for the above movies, and many would have been my first choices for their given time slots even if other shows had tickets available.

So where's the follow up to this post? What was good? What stank up the place? Do tell!
Greetings: I am a librarian @ Knox College and a student is doing research on Dali film. Would you be able to provide a copy of your Filmfax article "'L'age D'or' and 'Un Chien Andalou'" to our patron? Thank you for your response.
Enna, I just now saw your comment, two months after you posted it. Sorry! If it would still be helpful to provide a copy, I'd be happy to do so. I tried clicking on your Blogger name but it did not provide any contact information.
