📣 Arts East-West @ BIFF's Opening Ceremony 📣

The MAiFF delegation will be attending BIFF’s star-studded Opening Ceremony on October 6, 2026 – just less than a few days remain!

‍

⭐ THE TABLE: DAY AND NIGHT, Kim Jong-kwan’s delicate and romantic new feature, has been selected as the official Opening Film. 

‍

⭐ KIM MINHA, one of Korea’s most exciting rising stars, is the announced solo host of the Opening Ceremony. Internationally recognised for her role in Pachinko (2022–2024), she also plays a main role in the Opening Film.

‍

⭐ MICHELLE YEOH has been named the Asian Filmmaker of the Year by BIFF. She will be presented with her award during the ceremony. 

‍

The Opening Ceremony kicks off ten days of film screenings and special events. The MAiFF delegation looks forward to participating in all events, from intellectual exchange at Forum BIFF to engaging with festivalgoers at Community BIFF. 

‍

Our team leaves for Busan very shortly – starting from next week, we will share updates directly from the ground at BIFF itself! 

‍

We eagerly anticipate the start of the 31st BIFF. See you all in Busan!
