|  | | | | | | | | |  | | |  This year’s BIFF trailer, filled with waves under the moonlight, a seagull and the Busan International Film Festival logo, is a ‘jang minseung+jung jaeil’ production. A media art group formed by plastic & visual artist Jang Minseung as well as composer and producer Jung Jaeil, ‘jang minseung+jung jaeil’ has showcased temporal projects that include elements of art, music, drama and film, but do not conform to any one field and cannot be categorized or reproduced. Lee Kyeongsoo (a typographic artist/graphic designer) and other filming staff collaborated on the production of this trailer.
The scene these artists wanted to portray - ocean waves under the moonlight - was not easy to capture. To film this preternatural space, meteorological data had to be analyzed and personal knowledge from years of shooting the sea was used to track the ideal filming location in real time. At the end of a long wait when the rain finally stopped, they could shoot approximately 90 minutes of light rays dancing between the dark clouds moving low in the sky.
For this trailer, which lasts only 20 seconds, director Jang Minseung and the others put in long hours of hard work. We thank Jang Minseung and his staff for making this unforgettable trailer, as well as the lone seagull who gave an enthusiastic performance in the night sky. | | |  | | | | This year, the Busan International Film Festival has drastically expanded its service capacities for audience members. As always, BIFF Village will be installed at Haeundae beach to host Open Talk sessions, Outdoor Greetings, the Hand Printing event, outdoor performances and much more. In addition, we will be preparing an audience lounge within BIFF Hill, as well as the BIFF Terrace. | | |  | | |  | | | The audience lounge will be set up on the 1st floor of BIFF Hill. A guest rest area, souvenir shop, information desk, ticket box, and an interactive media art wall where the profiles of this year’s films can be seen at a glance will be installed and operated here. On the Korean Film Council (KOFIC) grounds next to the Busan Cinema Center, BIFF Terrace will be set up. The Book Cafe, Indie Lounge, BIFF Snack Bar and BIFF Shop will be operated here, in addition to it being the venue for ‘Meet the Guest: Talk to Talk’ sessions. At night, beer parties will also be held at the terrace plaza.
Screening services for children as well as senior citizens will also be continued this year. 4 films have been invited for the younger audience, with 2 of these providing narration services for children who are not yet literate. We hope it will be a memorable family experience as young children come hand-in-hand with their parents to the festival. Also, for our silver audience members (age 60 and above), films will be screened at the Dongseo University Sohyang Musical Theater and the MEGABOX Busan Theater in Nampo-dong. A special theater for the visually and hearing-impaired will be operated at the Community Media Center, and the Happy Sharing social contribution program will also be initiated |
