ABOUT
The Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) is a leading festival in Asia. The festival and its market, the Asian Content & Film Market, component serve both as a rallying point for the international film industry and as a gathering place for its audience of over 200 000 attendants. Last year, 278 films from 63 countries were shown. A total of 1,500 professionals from 45 countries participated and actively engaged in production, investment, imports, and exports.
Each year, three to six Canadian features are selected by the festival. The festival’s delegate will be considering films for the international sections: WORLD CINEMA, for established filmmakers, FLASH FORWARD, reserved for first and second features and MIDNIGHT PASSION, for genre films. The festival is also launching a new Main Competition section for Asian films and Canadian films deemed of Asian culture could be considered for this section.
