This year, 209 films from 69 countries have been officially invited, 80 of which are world premiere films that will be shown for the first time at the Busan International Film Festival.

You can also meet new works by masters from around the world, such as Alexander Payne’s ‘Barton Academy’ in the US and ‘The Host’ by Kore-eda Hirokazu in Japan.

This year, in particular, the Korean Diaspora, a Korean-American special exhibition, and the Indonesian Cinema Renaissance special exhibition will also be held.

The Asian Film Award is given to actor Chow Yun-fat, the big brother of Hong Kong cinema.

The Asian content film market, which has renewed the previous participation scale every year, is expected to set a new record this year as well.
