CONGRATULATORY REMARKS
It is the season when a spring breeze turns into the summer heat and this yearโs EXiS is on the way. This year is EXiSโs thirteen anniversary, the festival for the people with experimental spirit for challenge and adventure to achieve new day different from yesterday. This yearโs EXiS presents more than 250 pieces from all over the world. EXiS has now become the most important experimental film festivals not only of Korea but also of Asia. It richens the cultural diversity of the city of Seoul not only by promoting Korean experimental films but also by providing the foreign exchange programs and related fora. I am sure that EXiSโs journey for endless experiments and terra incognita would continue in the future. I applaud all the staves of EXiS who work hard for its success this year. Enthusiasm for filmmaking and experimental spirit will receive a passionate welcome. Mayor of Seoul Metropolitan Government Park, Won-soon
