Busan International Film Festival transforms for 30th anniversary with competitive format, new leadership, and Asian cinema focus.

The Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) is set to introduce a competitive format for its 30th edition in 2025, marking a significant shift from its traditional non-competitive structure. This new format will feature a main competition section called "Icon," which will award the "Busan Prize" to the best film, along with a cash prize of $30,000. Additionally, there will be a "New Currents" section for first and second-time filmmakers, offering a $20,000 prize. The festival aims to enhance its global standing and attract more international attention by adopting this competitive approach, while continuing to support Asian cinema. The decision to implement these changes was influenced by consultations with industry professionals and reflects BIFF's commitment to evolving with the film industry's needs.
