The 13th Jeonju International Film Festival (JIFF) is calling for entries to its Jeonju Project Promotion market’s Work In Progress Production Support Program. Aimed to help promote and support the works-in-progress of directors and producers whose previous work screened in JIFF, the program awards KW10 million in cash as well as an Audience Award to one project after a series of pitching sessions.

JPP is part of Jeonju Project Market(JPM), which supports the production of independent feature films and documentaries made by promising new producers, while striving to create a niche market for filmmakers. JPM is includes the Work In Progress program as well as Producer Pitching and Documentary Pitching. It also has industry conferences and screenings.

Started in 2008, the Work In Progress program looks for the most innovative independent film projects out there to showcase for investors, co-producers and international film festival programmers attending JIFF.
