100 Films 100 Posters has been a unique side event of the JEONJU International Film Festival (JEONJU IFF) since 2015. This exhibition selects 100 films from the festival, then showcases them as posters by 100 graphic designers. The resulting 100 posters that are reinterpreted by the designers are displayed in the exhibition spaces as well as on the streets of Jeonju, offering the public a new way to experience the event.
This event serves as both an exploration of visual language through the collaboration of the film and graphic design industries and an experimental platform for the creative intersection of film and design. For film enthusiasts, it will provide a new way to engage with films, while for designers, it will present an opportunity to reinterpret films through the medium of print. The 100 posters, unveiled annually in May in Jeonju, later find homes in various spaces, functioning as dynamic media that bridge film and design.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary last year with an expanded space and duration, 100 Films 100 Posters continues to offer diverse programs this year as part of Jeonju city’s tourism hub initiative. While maintaining the tradition of film poster exhibition, it broadens the intersection between film and graphic design even more this year. From this year, it introduces a thematic event, with the inaugural theme being ‘Film Festival Design’. Through association with the Salon talk series, the program highlights domestic film festival design, providing opportunities to share various cases and insights. 100 Films 100 Posters aspires to be a distinctive tourism program unique to Jeonju and serves as a festival representing May that everyone can enjoy.
We look forward to your support as we continue to innovate with 100 Films 100 Posters.
