I am back in Korea again. The biggest difference between Korea and Spain? The light. It is 8pm and it is already dark here. Over in Spain, there are still signs of light in the sky at 10pm. For me, I prefer to have the additional light in the evening.

Okay, maybe that is not the biggest difference. But as I look out over western Seoul from my 12th floor window, that is the one that comes to mind.

By the way, the Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival had its big press conference yesterday, announcing their lineup for this year. While I was sad to miss it (after going to so many over the years), I was rather impressed by much of the selection.

PiFan has even managed to snag a World Premier for its opening night film — the Hollywood remake of THE EXPERIMENT, by Paul Scheuring (of the TV series Prison Break), and starring Adrien Brody, Maggie Grace and Forest Whitaker.

This year’s PiFan runs July 15-25.
