movie programs that satisfied the
manias and general audiences had the
great response from the local residents,
and the atmosphere of film festival
was improved by having the Street of
Festival. For special matters of 2005
PiFan, two work products were selected
for opening and closing ceremony each
to satisfy the general public and the
mania at the same time. The opening
films, <Nochnoi Dozor> and <Battle
in Heaven> and closing films, <The
Wind Mill Palm Forest> and <Open
Water> had the seats filled up to
show great support of the audiences.
In addition, with the revival of the
Festival Lady that was abolished in
the previous year, it was able to approach
to the audience with the familiar film
festival image.
From the Special Exhibition, the
'Tales of Egypt' had a great response
from the audience for introducing the
works in Korea for the first time and
held the 'Ramese Photo Exhibition' during
the time of the film festivals by introducing
the movies and culture of Egypt. In
the Special Exhibition (LAKIFF Special)
for 1.5 generation introduced the Korean
film makers in the US and contributed
the understanding of second generation
Korean and their culture as living in
foreign land. Moreover, the president
of the LAKIFF (Los Angeles Korean International
Film Festival) came as the review member
to participate in PiFan, and it was
the opportunity to continue the exchange
of film festivals. B&B has yet to
be operated, but it has been a great
help in publicizing the film program
to the Korean distributors and entering
into the contracts with the overseas
work products. The most popular works
in 2005 PiFan were <Cromaty High
School> of Japan, <All about My
Dog> of the family section and <The
Neighbor No 13> of world fantastic
film section. For the works that had
many animation fans in Korea, the director
Yudai Yamaguchi came in GA and stayed
with the fans where the domestic fans
had a passionate welcome to prove his
popularity in Korea. In addition, the
director Tokiwa Shiro of <Falling
Distance 4'1" : birds>, the
director Masayuki Koide of <Fleuri>,
the director Hiroki Yamaguchi of <Hellevator>,
and the director Torico of <Migakagami>
and other actors participated to gain
great response in GA. Furthermore, the
works of erotica section and the Ginger
Snap Series, cult movies of Canada,
had the high popularities from the domestic
movie distribution companies.
In <First Time>, the work that
had not been shown with the regulations
of the Philippines authorities, it was
particularly meaningful to introduce
in Korea without censorship on the work.
With the participation of the director
Lyle Nemenzo Sacris and the producers
in the film festival, there was a great
time of communication with audiences,
and it was a great opportunity to introduce
the Philippines movies to Korea.
