and diverse lineup of special events.

🎥 What Makes This Year’s Community BIFF Special?

30 alumni directors, faculty, and students will unveil Project 30, a world premiere omnibus film produced with CJ ENM to celebrate the occasion. Representative works such as The Truth Beneath (2016) and City of the Rising Sun (1999) will also be screened.

The Community BIFF Collection returns as an interconnected program featuring artists who broaden cultural horizons and set new trends with their achievements across new media, K-pop, and beyond. This year introduces the theme “Books” with Community BIFF Books, featuring guests Chung Seokyung (screenwriter of The Handmaiden), Lee Seokwon, Park Sangyoung, Kim Shin-rock, and Park Chanil. The program also includes live performances by IDIOTAPE and Balming Tiger, along with a screening of Interstella 5555 (2003), the iconic collaboration between Daft Punk and Matsumoto Leiji.

13 audience-selected BIFF masterpieces will return to the big screen, including All About Lily Chou-Chou (2001), Our Little Sister (2015), The Duelist (2005) and The Shameless (2015), accompanied by appearances from their directors and actors.

A full-day program dedicated to a single theme — featuring screenings and talks that explore social issues such as regional culture, women’s perspectives, and science.

• The Cinephiles Strike Back: Secret surprise screenings
• Master Talk: With director Jang Jae-hyun (Svaha: The Sixth Finger, 2019) and actor Park Jung-min.
