South Korea’s Busan International Film Festival has moved to resolve its ongoing management crisis by confirming that managing director Cho Jongkook has been dismissed and will be replaced by deputy director Kang Seung-ah.
In addition, program director Nam Dong-chul has been promoted to festival director, replacing Huh Moonyung who resigned last month.
The moves were voted on at Busan’s second general assembly of 2023 at the Busan Cinema Center today (June 26). Nam and Kang were appointed under an amendment to the festival’s regulations: “In the case an accident befalls the festival director, the program director, and in the case of the managing director, the deputy director, will take over the respective duties.” The festival also said that chairman Lee Yong-kwan has handed in his resignation.
Busan also said an ‘Innovation Committee’ will discuss the festival’s future development and vision, as well as address some of the problems that have recently hit the event.
