The Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) kicked off its 10-day run on Wednesday at the Busan Cinema Center in Haeundae District.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary, this year’s BIFF presents what the festival’s director Jung Han-seok described as a “monumental, the largest and finest” lineup ever, with a total of 328 films set to be screened across seven theaters in Busan.
A red carpet event for the opening ceremony, which started at 6 p.m., featured a star-studded lineup as well, which will be followed by actor Lee Byung-hun taking the stage as host.
