What is Deajong Film Festival?

Daejong Film Festival is the oldest film award ceremony in Korea and the only film award program hosted by the government. Each year’s winners are selected based on opinions of festival-goers and film experts. The event brings together fans, the media and people from across the film industry for an exciting public event.

It is the most prestigious industry award program in Korea. The Daejong Film Awards brings hundreds of Korean stars together in one place. In the hours leading up to the ceremony, visitors wait outside for stars to grace the red carpet. The show also invites several guest performers to highlight the event.

In the days before the awards ceremony the public is often guessing as to who will win in each category of awards. When the show has ended the talk also focuses on those claiming the unofficial titles of most stylish outfit, best hairstyles and the not-so coveted branding of worse dressed.

What follows now is my own point of view based on what I've read about the results of 49th Daejong Film Awards.

Last year "Masquerade" won 15 out of the 20 awards. This movie hit the box office. So did "Confession of Murder". "Masquerade" had won a foreign festival award. So did "Confession of Murder". "Masquerade" had been screened in other Asian countries and the USA. So did "Confession of Murder" and still does. Next festival in the USA will be in San Diego. "Confession of Murder" is still promoting Korean movie in foreign countries. On top of that it has received many good reviews from the screenings in Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong and the USA.

Last year "Pieta" was awarded at Venices Film Festival in Italy and the director received the award for Best New Director at 49th Daejong Film Festival.

It would surprise me when "Confession of Murder" should not receive at least one award. In my opinion Park Si Hoo has a good chance to receive the award for Best New Actor. He is deserving this so much! Let's wait till 1st November. If I have a chance I will watch online at KBS2.
