Wie bereits in den letzten Jahren werden auch beim 13th Korean Film Festival Frankfurt vor ausgewählten Langfilmen wieder koreanische Kurzfilme zu sehen sein. Bei den Kurzfilmen handelt es sich um unabhängige Produktionen, hinter denen meist nur kleine Teams stecken. Genau wie im Hauptprogramm steht auch bei den Kurzfilmen unser diesjähriges Motto „Generationen“ im Vordergrund.

As in previous years, there will once again be Korean animated short films screened before selected feature-length films at the 13th Korean Film Festival Frankfurt. The short films are independent productions, usually made by small teams. Just like in the feature program, the short films also focus on this year’s theme “Generations”.

Meet the third part of our Management Team!

Jana became a member of Project K in 2020 and became a part of the management team in 2024, where she is responsible for team coordination and the ticketing system. Her favorite film is “Oldboy” by PARK Chan-wook, since it was the first Korean film she watched. She prefers K-Drama over K-Film and loves a good thriller! She also likes OV with subtitles more than synchronization, because it allows her to practice her Korean skills.

Julia joined Project K in 2021, first as a regular member of the Social Media team before becoming part of the management in 2023. In 2024, she joined the board of directors as a deputy chairwoman. Her favorite film is “It’s Ok” by KIM Hye-young, which touched her deeply. Her favorite moment with Project K so far has been the visit of Teo Yoo last year, which was a really nice experience for the whole team. She also prefers OV with subtitles over synchronization, since she feels like too much of the emotions go missing in the dubbing process. The last day of the festival is her favourite part, since the nerves and the tension have worn off by that time and the team starts to realize, what we all achieved together!

Martha joined Project K in 2022, first as a regular member of the Social Media team before joining the management of the Marketing and Cultural Program team last year. Since 2024, she is responsible for the management of the Social Media team. One of her favorite Korean films is “Burning” by LEE Chang-dong for its unique cinematography and atmosphere. She cannot pick a favorite moment of working for Project K and the festival, because working together with the other team members creates so many beautiful and funny moments! Martha does not usually watch film trailers beforehand as she likes a surprise. She also prefers OV with subtitles over synchronization, because she feels that the subtleties of the acting performance are sometimes lost in synchronization.

Meet the second part of our Management Team!

Chiara joined Project K in 2021 and took over the management of the Marketing and Cultural Program team in 2023. Her favourite film is “Lady Vengeance” by PARK Chan-wook. She prefers OV with subtitles over synchronization, because she is convinced that many emotions go missing in the dubbing, making the film experience completely different. Chiara prefers the last day of the festival, when everybody comes together and realizes, what the team has achieved!

Daniel became a member of Project K in 2019 and joined the management team in 2022. Although he was reluctant to join Project K at first, he ended up becoming chairman of the board last year! His favourite film is “Memories of Murder” by BONG Joon-ho which he would recommend to anyone. He also prefers OV with subtitles over synchronization. He would also suggesting visiting both the opening night of the Korean Film Festival Frankfurt as well as the last day of the festival, since both days are unique in their own ways!

Dong-hee is manager of the Artist Support team since 2023 and joined the board of directors as a deputy chairwoman this year! “The Way Home” by LEE Jeong-hyang is her favorite film. She prefers to watch the end credits and would describe Korean cinema as emotional, original and humorous. She thinks everybody should visit the Korean Film Festival Frankfurt, since it’s one of a kind and offers a unique perspective on Korean culture.

Fiona joined Project K in 2022 and took over the management of the Film and Screenings team in 2023! Her favorite film is “Burning” by LEE Chang-dong. She especially likes the how the film blends different elements and genres together. Fiona has a bachelor’s degree in theater, film and media studies with a minor in Korean studies and is now studying screenwriting at the University of Television and Film in Munich. She would rather go to the cinema instead of streaming at home and, as a hopeless romantic herself, slightly prefers romance over thrillers.
