Asia's top film festival in crisis

Sad to see formerly democratic countries like South Korea, Turkey, Spain, Brazil etc. descend back into totalitarian regimes.

Democratic???? Surely you jest??

Asian Film Festival - can we expect to see cries for more diversity, as we see in Cannes and Hollywood?

“This festival is not a personal possession of state officials, but a valued cultural heritage nurtured and enjoyed by movie fans”

Sorry to ruin your illusion

These Korean government officials like Suh are more concerned about saving face and hiding their embarrassment from the world after their botched rescue efforts in that disaster. That's why he's taking it out on the festival and its organizers. How petty.

Bernd,

You can add Japan to that list too, although I'm inclined to agree with Jel Merd, I don't know that any of these has ever been a bastion of democracy.

Why does this make S. Korea look not so different from N. Korea?

Film and sk, does it mix
