서울국제여성영화제

The 9th WFFIS, this year’s Asian Short Film Competition presents 178 entries from Korea and 73 entries from 14 countries including Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, Palestine, Turkey and others. Between the total of 251 entries, 12 Korean and 5 from other countries were picked to be screened. In last festival there were 230 entries, but this year more works entered for competition not only from Korea but also from other countries.

Intent on supporting the practices of feminism through filmmaking, the Women’s News Award is given to one of the collectives or individuals whose works are featured in the Girl's on Film section.

As the incubator for women\'s film professionals, WFFIS, in collaboration with the Ock Rang Cultural Foundation (noted for its close involvement with progressive Korean cultural activities) provides a new project to provide a stable production system for women documentary filmmakers. These works strive to evelop alternative views and sensibilities toward the world and suggest a positive model of women through visual media. A maximum of 10 million won will be awarded to support more than one film project per year and will be screened at the following 10th WFFIS.
