It was a great news that hit the media very timely on the day of 8th anniversary of the Jeju designated as the Peace Island on Jan. 27, 2013. The Jeju was designated as the ‘World Peace Island,’ on Jan. 27, 2005′ to overcome the pain of 4. 3 massacre from 1947 to 1954. Jeju film maker O Muel’s based-on-a-true-story film which takes place during the 4.3 Jeju Massacre has won the Grand Jury Prize in the international section of the Sundance Film Festival. Hopefully this will help to bring 4.3 the attention of more people. Tonight in Gangjeong, there was a special screening of O Muel’s previous film “Nostalgia”. Jiseul will make its out of festival Korean premier on Jeju Island on March 1st.
