ASIA'S top film festival will go ahead next month despite a threatened boycott by some local moviemakers seeking guarantees of artistic freedom, its head said on Tuesday.
Kim Dong-Ho, chairman of the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF), urged filmmakers to end their boycott and vowed to guarantee the festival's independence. "I'm really sorry for what happened to the festival in the past . . . I'll do my best to restore the honour of the festival that has been undermined over the past two years", he told journalists.
