Thanks for the article, but do you think you could suggest a better hook, it's kind of obvious being in Seoul!♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:17, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Suggestion: ALT1: ... that the Seoul Independent Film Festival was initially the Korean Youth Film Festival? -Freekee (talk) 01:07, 30 December 2015 (UTC)


 * How about ALT2: ... that some of the works at the Seoul Independent Film Festival go on a city tour called an "indie picnic". The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 16:59, 3 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg The article is new enough and long enough, neutral and well-sourced. Either ALT1 or ALT2 work. The picture seems properly licensed, but is not very interesting. A spot check of the Korean sources using Google translate shows no problem – just the facts are being taken. The article makes extensive use of the festival's website, but not in a promotional way, so that should be acceptable. There are copyright problems with the English language sources:
 * Article: In the competition of the festival, nine homespun features and 45 shorts will vie for cash prizes amounting to 72 million won (about $68,000). Winners will be shown during the closing ceremony on Dec. A large portion of films focus on grim social issues in Korea, including rape, domestic violence, school bullying, the plight of migrant workers and dark moments in recent Korean history.
 * Source: In the competition of the fest, nine homespun features and 45 shorts will vie for cash prizes amounting to 72 million won (about $68,000) ... Winners will be shown during the closing ceremony on Dec. 6. A large portion of films focus on grim social issues in Korea, including rape, domestic violence, school bullying, the plight of migrant workers and dark moments in recent Korean history.
 * This needs paraphrasing. I suggest going over the other places English-language sources have been used, making sure the text has not just been copied, and paraphrasing where needed. Also, it needs a native English speaker to copy edit. Some of the language is very hard to follow: "Next, the Best Picture Award is a selecting to Grand prize work in competition and award cash prize, plaque.  And the Excellent picture award is selecting to superb work in competition and award cash prize, plaque. "


 * The article is not ready for the front page in its present state. (Note: I will be traveling for the next few weeks so may not be able to follow up this review.) Aymatth2 (talk) 13:35, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
