UNICA 2013 - South Korea cancels ... AUSTRIA takes over!
Posted: Wed Jan 23, 2013 7:05 pm
We heard late in January that South Korea will not now host the 2013 UNICA festival - the one where nations compete.
22nd February we heard that Austria will host the event from 24th August to 1st September. More details to come.
======================================================================================================
This was how we heard about the cancellation from the UNICA Treasurer:
Zurich, 23 August 2013
Dear film friends
Dear UNICA participants
This morning the Korean National Association has informed us that UNICA 2013 cannot be performed in Korea.
Due to health problems, as well as cancellation of subsidies, Mr. Chang unfortunately had to retire as organizer.
The committee is looking for a new venue for the UNICA 2013 with a new organizer.
In this respect several conversations already take place.
We ask for your patience and we will let you know in the coming weeks where the UNICA 2013 will take place this year.
All we can already say is that it will be in the middle of Europe.
We will publish the new venue with the data on the website of UNICA and the website UNICA 2013 Korea.
Also, you will also be contacted directly by e-mail.
Sincerely
Thomas Kräuchi
