> About MGFF
MGFF was originally initiated by 'Director's CUT', a committee of established young Korean film directors, who are well-known for their innovative and stylish films that audience loved nationally and internationally. Two selected committee members, who specialize in a certain genre, take charge of each category of genre and choose one finalist in each genre. We have five general sections of films that expand the boundaries of their respective genres; A City of Sadness, A Short Film about Love, The King of Comedy, The Extreme Nightmare and The 40000 Blows.
The main objective is to support and promote talented young Koreans in the field of filmmaking and to serve as a platform to help them jump up high. Secondly, we are to make the festival interesting and pleasurable for the audience by presenting short genre films which reflect the various aspects of our society and also the passion of young filmmakers.
