"Try to Remember" by Korean director Kim Dae-hyeon opens the festival. The documentary is about the Kim Sisters, the nation's first girl band who were active half a century ago.
They were also the first Asian singers to perform in Las Vegas, causing quite a stir there.
The competition section called "World Music Film Today" features seven movies including "Beatles" that revolves around boy fans of the legendary band, and "Keep on Keepin' on", a documentary about a blind young jazz pianist.
The movie that wins the W10 million award for best film closes the festival (US$1=W1,170).
Tickets are available on the event's website at http://www.jimff.org.
