The 27th JEONJU International Film Festival (JEONJU IFF, Festival Co-Directors MIN Sungwook and JUNG Junho) has announced the detailed submission schedule and updated guidelines for its International Competition ahead of the upcoming call for entries. Submissions will officially open on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, and close on Monday, January 19, 2026.

The International Competition is open to a director’s first or second feature-length film of any genre, including fiction, documentary, experimental, or animation. Eligible films must have a running time of over 40 minutes (including credits) and be completed after January 2025.
Films must hold at least an Asian premiere status, meaning they must not have been screened in any Asian country. (For films produced in an Asian country, eligibility is retained if they have not been screened in another Asian country outside their home country.) Submissions that do not meet these requirements will not be considered.

For the first time, a processing fee of USD 30 per film will be introduced for the International Competition. Submissions can be made online via FilmFreeway (https://filmfreeway.com/festivals) or Festhome (https://festhome.com/en). Finalists will be announced following internal deliberations and preliminary review. For further inquiries, please contact the Program Team of JEONJU IFF (submission@jeonjufest.kr).
