Director Jung Yoona's short animation was invited to the short competition of the 78th Cannes Film Festival (Cannes Film Festival) institutional sector.
The French Critics Association announced on the 17th (local time) through its official website that Director Jung's "Glasses" will be screened at the short competition institutional sector of the Cannes Film Festival next month. The Critics Week is an unofficial institutional sector operated by the Cannes Film Festival that showcases full-length and short films featuring fresh artistry.
This is the first time that a Korean film has been invited to the Cannes Film Festival this year with "Glasses." No Korean feature films were included in the previously announced official institutional sector, such as the competition institutional sector and unofficial institutional sectors like Directors' Fortnight and Critics Week.
It is the first time in 26 years since 1999 that Korean feature films have not submitted any works to both the official institutional sector and unofficial institutional sector of the Cannes Film Festival.
