Last year, BIFF was able to host a more successful event than ever before with more than 140,000 participants by focusing on the festival's core values to gather together and enjoy films. The festival was met with an enthusiastic response from the audience, with the attendance of world-renowned domestic and international film professionals, a Special Program in Focus that brought together Korean-American directors and actors active in Hollywood, and various events and attractions.

 

Busan International Film Festival, which is setting out for a new beginning with a newly instated executive committee, continues to be dedicated to introducing promising directors and projects in Asia and fulfilling its role of connecting the audience and films. This year’s official selections will be available for screening at the 29th Busan International Film Festival, which will be held for 10 days from Oct 2 (Wed) to Oct 11 (Fri) in the vicinity of Busan Cinema Center.
