I was a little upset because I found out about this event just a week after it had been hosted. But a passion for film festivals, learning through cinema, (with a grain of salt) and visiting cultures through the looking glass came long in the two years I lived in Korea, I lived in Busan in the southern coast. I made sure ever year to get tickets to the Busan International Film Festival which was an AMAZING event, inclusive of night movies which ran from 10 pm until 4am. An amazing opening and closing ceremony. Both were difficult to get tickets to, but the ceremony and celebration shown for the arts and cinema, the people and culture was great showman ship, that was done amazingly.
The BIFF was a collaboration of movies shown from all over the globe and is continually becoming the largest international film festival around.
