The 30th Busan International Film FestivalCamellia Award
Throughout history, pioneering women around the world have made enormous contributions to the film industry in areas including direction, production, screenwriting, and cinematography. Today, their creative journeys, which dare to challenge traditional norms and modes of thinking, are a source of strength and inspiration, forging a path for future generations of women in the industry. Created in 2024 to celebrate the power of women in film, the Camellia Award is given to a prominent filmmaker or industry professional whose work has enhanced the status of women in the field. Selected by The Busan International Film Festival and CHANEL, this year’s Camellia Award will be presented to Sylvia Chang, one of Asia’s most acclaimed directors, actors, producers, and screenwriters.
