Busan International Film Festival programming and history
Overview
The Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) has highlighted its role in celebrating diverse cinematic traditions and supporting the industry. The 31st edition of the festival announced a special program dedicated to Japanese animation, featuring 13 films that span a century of history. This program includes the work of animation master Rintaro, marking his first visit to Korea in 17 years, alongside several next-generation directors. Featured titles range from the 1958 landmark “The White Snake Enchantress” to the 1973 experimental film “Belladonna of Sadness.”
Reflecting on its three-decade history since its 1996 inception, the festival has established itself as a major global gathering for Asian cinema. BIFF serves as a platform for networking and education, specifically aiming to support independent and regional filmmakers by providing visibility to non-mainstream productions.
