The Spotlight program welcomes emerging directors to Vancouver and deepens the long tradition of Korean cinema as a cornerstone of VIFF programming.
As one of the first North American festivals to introduce audiences to Bong Joon-ho, Lee Changdong, and Hong Sangsoo, VIFF is thrilled to continue our rich tradition of platforming the exciting new filmmakers emerging from South Korea. Part of our multifaceted Spotlight on Korea: The New Breed highlights six debut features (three of them world premieres) by rising talents who are at the precipice of international recognition.
