The large number of selections by BIFF alumni Asian directors is garnering much attention. APM 2023 official selections include Mr. Van (Vietnam / Germany) by director Kim Quy Bui, who was invited to the New Currents section at the Busan International Film Festival 2021, and Southern Summer (China / Malaysia) by director Lan Tian, recipient of the Sonje Award at the Busan International Film Festival 2022. In addition, Song Fang, alumnus of the first edition of the Asian Film Academy (AFA) who has become a prominent figure on the international stage, and Makbul Mubarak, AFA 2018 alumnus, have also returned to BIFF as directors. Furthermore, projects by directors Fukada Koji, Ahmed Yassin Al Daradji, and Kawawada Emma, who met with the audience at the Busan International Film Festival 2022 with past APM projects, directors Rima Das, Hsu Chao-Jen and Hirose Nanako have been selected.
In addition, 7 Korean projects were selected for the Asian Project Market 2023, including projects by directors Yoon Danbi, who received international recognition with her feature debut and quadruple crown winner at the Busan International Film Festival 2019, Moving On (2019), An Old Lady (2019)’s Lim Sun-ae, A Leave (2020)’s Lee Ranhee, and Kim Mi-young, who received the DGK MEGABOX Award at the Busan International Film Festival 2021. With director Lee Dongwoo’s Snake & Scorpion, a feature adaptation of last year’s Wide Angle selection of the same title, director Shin Sun of No Surprise (2021), and director Kang Yi Kwan, who will be revisiting BIFF with Morning Star, APM is expected to give insight to the future of Korean cinema.
