The poster for the 8th Pusan International Film Festival is by Yusan MIN KyungKap, who has represented nature in an abstract way. This is Min's second work ("Into the Nature" series) to be selected as the poster for Pusan International Film Festival. While the official poster for the 7th film festival emphasized the significance of the nature and the festival, this year's poster, which signifies seriality, gives a more dynamic feeling that encapsulates the Pusan International Film Festival's unique lively atmosphere. In other words, with the nature of Korea as the background, this work sublimates a universal beauty that anyone can understand as the dynamic identity of the Pusan International Film Festival, which welcomes its 8th year.
