Busan International Film Festival https://asianfilmfestivals.com/2024/03/11/busan-international-film-festival-call-for-entry-2024/ The article introduces the start of what is described as the most unconventional film festival in history—the opening of the 29th Busan International Film Festival (BIFF). The festival kicks off with the Netflix film ‘War’ and includes the first screening of a BTS RM-led K-pop documentary. BIFF, having overcome a period of turmoil, is determined to make a strong comeback. https://variety.com/2024/film/news/busan-film-festival-project-market-selections-1236113400/ This year's BIFF will run for 10 days, from October 2nd to 11th, centered around the Busan Cinema Center in Haeundae-gu. The festival has emphasized its focus on audiences more than ever before, featuring 224 films from 63 countries across 28 screens in seven theaters—15 more films than last year. Including the audience-participation program "Community BIFF," a total of 279 films will be showcased. The festival promises a rich and attention-grabbing lineup, prioritizing "mass appeal" from the opening film to special programs. https://www.mk.co.kr/news/culture/11129297 The opening film, ‘War’, is produced by Park Chan-wook and stars Kang Dong-won, with Kim Sang-man as the director. It's the first time BIFF has selected a Netflix film as its opening movie, signaling a shift toward online streaming content. https://www.mk.co.kr/news/culture/11129297 In addition, a documentary featuring BTS RM will make its debut, focusing on the making of his second solo album, ‘Right Place, Wrong Person’, which was released in May. The documentary, titled ‘RM: Right People, Wrong Place’, has been officially invited to the Open Cinema section, which highlights new and internationally recognized films that balance both artistry and mass appeal. The titles ‘Right’ and ‘Wrong’ in the film symbolize the moments when the boundaries blur, marking the beginning of a journey to find one's true self and the right place. The documentary captures RM's 8-month journey of creating his second solo album, featuring candid interviews. As it explores the constant self-reflection and exploration of identity between RM, the leader of BTS, and Kim Nam-joon, the individual, this film is expected to be a deeply meaningful gift for fans. #BusanFilmFestival #BIFF2024 #BTSRM #넷플릭스영화 #DocumentaryPremiere #영화제 #Kpop #Cinema #부산국제영화제 #전란 #방탄소년단 #다큐멘터리 #개막작 #오픈시네마 #BusanCinemaCenter #Haeundae #BIFF다큐멘터리 #K팝다큐 #RM솔로앨범 #RightPeopleWrongPlace #한국영화 #국제영화제 #영화팬 #BTS다큐 #영화사랑 #문화축제 #Busan2024 #SeoulToBusan #KoreanCinema #방탄소년단RM All rights reserved Stay14 Bespoke
