The prestigious film festival is set to take place from October 6-15, 2021. The in-person event may not see too many international guests in attendance due to the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions in Korea.

The two Indian films that have been selected include Natesh Hegde's 'Pedro' and 'House Of Time' which has been co-directed by Rajdeep Paul and Sarmistha Maiti. 'Pedro' narrates the story of an electrician living in a forest village, stuck in a difficult situation.
