The week-long festival will screen 55 movies, including 15 short films, from 40 countries.
This year’s film event will revolve around the themes of climate change, post-nuclear life and sustainable living.
Director Matthew Heineman’s documentary “City of Ghosts,” which follows a group of anonymous activists who banded together after their homeland was taken over by ISIS in 2014, will open the event.
Actor Jeon Seok-ho of 2014 tvN series “Misaeng” and actress Shin Hyun-been of “He’s on Duty” (2010) are honorary ambassadors for the film festival.
