It was the first time in three years since the pandemic that BIFF2022 was held where buyers could also participate from all over the world and it ended with a great success. Participants stayed up late every night catching up and making connections and everyone had a sleepless but energetic few days.

I also vigorously ran between the venues for conferences, business meetings, and screenings to make the most of this first opportunity in three years.

One of the highlights of BIFF 2022 was the opportunity to experience a screening of director Koreeda's film "BROKER" with a stage greeting, shot in the host city of Busan.
Actor Song Kang-ho is best remembered for winning the Best Actor Award at Cannes for this film.
The film is directed by a Japanese director and shot in Korea with Korean actors. It is a wonderful collaboration beyond politics and histories between two countries. It difinitely was a memorable screening experience witnessing the filmmaking stories in Busan.
