EXiS (Experimental Film and Video Festival in Seoul) is held and directed since 2004 by Park Donghyun. It is the first and only experimental film festival in South Korea. Providing a national and international program to the visitors each year. The festival used to have different thematic, the first one being "Exploration of medium" in 2004. However in 2010 several changes were made and EXiS resolutely omitted any slogans since then, driving to supply divers films and ways of filming.

Expanding itself, EXiS also shares since 2015 their programs with local communities such as artspace Don Quixote in Suncheon, the corner theater in Busan and in 2018 Daejeon's Art Cinema.

History

EXiS was born from the will to provide education on experimental films and movies in South Korea, as there was a lack of education in that field. This is the main reason why the festival program goes along with several workshops where the visitors can try and experiment moving images.

SEFF Competition

"While it is difficult to come up with a completely satisfactory definition of what an experimental film is, the most comprehensive quality of any such film is the spirit of exploration. In such films, it is the 'how's more than the 'what' that is being asked. In this question is the artist's opinions, philosophy and aesthetic sensibility all in one. It is the power of the metaphor that lies within this question that is so essential to the life of experimental film, of any definition." Programmer - Kim Gye-Joong.
