JEONJU International Film Festival is against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Since February 24, 2022, Russia has been attacking Ukraine with Weapons of Mass Destruction(WMD), including missiles and tanks. The ongoing attack has resulted in many civilian casualties in Ukraine.

As a member of our community, and the international community, which has suffered from the infringement of sovereignty, JEONJU International Film Festival strongly condemns the invasion of Russia. This kind of violence cannot be justified in any circumstance.

JEONJU International Film Festival strongly supports for Ukraine to respect sovereignty and territory, democracy, and also supports the courage of Russian local filmmakers, artists, and people who have begun to speak out against the unilateral decision of the nation.

We hope citizens in Ukraine stay safe.
