And with that – Arts East-West kicks off our journey at the 31st Busan International Film Festival!
After a wonderful Opening Ceremony on October 6, featuring world-renowned film industry figures such as Kim Dong-ho, Ann Hui, Michelle Yeoh, and many more, this year’s edition of BIFF has launched successfully. Though our team faced a few technical/travel-related challenges on the way here, we are now safely settled into Busan and in the full swing of things.
In the coming days, we will attend film screenings, forums, discussions, open talks, and discover all the unique programming that BIFF has to offer. We look forward to connecting with the community of diverse filmmakers that have travelled from around the world to be here, just like us.
Stay tuned for more updates from Arts East-West on our BIFF journey!
