This year, we invite Kenji Ishizaka, Fukumi Kuroda and Shinji Aoyama for our forum. Mr. Ishizuka is a director of Winds of Asia-Middle East Program in Tokyo International Film Festival, and is knowledgful of Asian film including Kim Ki-young. Ms Kuroda is a weill-known actor for both film and TV and loves Korean culture. Film director Aoyama is a co-organizer of this festival, and is a big fan of Kim Ki-young¡Çs works.
