In the last days of 2025, the ICFR calls upon the global film community to take a stand and sign the petition in support of our Korean colleague Jung Yoon-suk. Jung Yoon-suk sought to document the civil riots outside Seoul’s Western District Court last January, as is his custom as a documentary filmmaker — but in the eyes of the Korean court, this has been deemed „aggravated trespassing“. Jung Yoon-suk and his legal team are appealing the original verdict and the one-year prison sentence now requested by prosecutors; the new judgment will be delivered on December 24.
SUPPORT JUNG YOON-SUK NOW by signing & sharing the petition - link in the stories!
