The Director's Cut Awards (Korean: 디렉터스 컷 시상식) is an annual awards ceremony for excellence in film in South Korea. It is presented by the Korea Film Director's Network (KFDN), a group of approximately 300 Korean filmmakers.[1][2][3] The KFDN selects winners in the Korean film industry in eight categories: Director, Actor (Male/Female), New Director, New Actor (Male/Female), Producer and Independent Film Director.[4] It was launched in 1998 by film director Lee Hyun-seung with a membership of "young generation" directors in their twenties to forties.[5][6][7][8]
The ceremony was temporarily discontinued after 2010 due to "internal issues" within the organization.[9] It was resumed in 2014 and held concurrently with the Jecheon International Music and Film Festival (JIMFF).[10]
