About the festival
The Jeonju International Film Festival (JEONJU IFF) is a ten-day festival of independent and experimental cinema, held since 2000 around Jeonju Film Street in Gosa-dong, in the old city centre near Jeonju Hanok Village. The 27th edition ran 29 April–8 May 2026 with 236 films from 54 countries; 2027 dates had not been announced as of 19 October 2026, but recent editions have run from the last days of April into early May. Screenings are paid, roughly ₩10,000–20,000 a ticket (general screenings at the low end, the ceremonies and late-night shows at the top), sold online on the official site from about two weeks before opening, while the outdoor alley screenings at 20:00 each night are free. No source confirms whether foreign-issued cards work on the ticket site; the on-site box offices sell unsold seats for card or cash.
Transport, booking, crowd and accessibility details are on the main Jeonju International Film Festival page, which covers every edition.
