Arts East-West’s activities at the 31st BIFF continue in full swing! Over the past 6 days, we have attended countless film screenings, forums, talks, markets, and even hosted a gathering of Asian and Canadian film professionals.
One highlight includes the panels at Forum BIFF, featuring a diverse lineup of scholars from around the world to share their perspectives on relevant topics such as “The Role of AI in Cinema” and “The Future of Asian Animation.” Our team continues to connect with filmmakers and industry professionals from across Asia and the rest of the globe through the various events taking place outside of official programming.
Today marks the last day of the Asian Film & Contents Market (ACFM), through which we were able to connect with global distributors and filmmakers. We congratulate Alice Shin, a member of AEW’s Board of Directors, on her participation in the Platform BUSAN program this year.
We also sincerely thank Chairman Park Kwang-su and the BIFF team for their warm welcome of our team and the lovely BIFF merchandise – we have been loving our new tote bags! Our time in Busan so far has been nothing short of fulfilling, through days packed with films and new connections.
