The sixth Toronto Korean Film Festival will open at the University of Toronto on July 12th.

The documentary film "Weekends" by director Lee Dong-ha will open the festival which continues through the 16th.

"Weekends" is about "G-Voice," the one and only gay men’s choir in South Korea. 

A total of 16 films will be screened this year including "Snowy Road" directed by Lee Na-jeong. It follows the story of victims of Japan's wartime sex slavery. 

There's also the "Sound of Nomad: Koryo Arirang" by Kim Jeong and director Lee Chang-jae's "Our President," which is a documentary on former President Roh Moo-hyun.

"Snowy Road" was made into a film after the drama first aired on KBS. It depicts the sad and beautiful friendship of two girls under Japanese aggression.

"Our President," still screened at theaters in South Korea, has been an unusual success for a documentary, drawing one million viewers in the first ten days.

The festival's closing film "A Quiet Dream" is directed by Korean Chinese Zhang Lu. It's the story of three men and a woman who runs a small pub in a corner of Seoul, and their unusual ways of expressing their emotions.

The film was the opener at last year's Busan International Film Festival.

In the Toronto festival's short film competition, six films out of a record 260 submissions from around the world will be screened.

Of the six, the juries and audience members will each select a winning film.
