Ahead of its opening in October, the Busan International Film Festival has released the official posters for the 31st Busan International Film Festival and the 21st Asian Contents & Film Market.
The core motif of the official poster for the 31st Busan International Film Festival is a "crowd of figures." Capturing the audiences who visited last year's festival, the poster highlights viewers not just as spectators observing the event, but as active participants who complete the film festival together.
The diverse appearances and narratives of those who visited the festival with their own unique perspectives blend together within the poster, reaffirming the presence of the audience at the heart of the festival. The portrayal of the audience as a crowd symbolizes the countless encounters and moments that make up the film festival, capturing the stories of individuals experiencing the festival in their own ways into a single landscape. Through this, it delivers the message that countless audience experiences come together to finally complete a single film festival.
This official poster was planned and designed by Art Director Choi Soon-dae, who has served as an art director since the 2nd Busan International Film Festival, designing posters and festival spaces.
Art Director Choi Soon-dae explained the design intent, saying, "It has always been the presence of the audience filling the seats that has completed the film festival," adding, "I worked on this poster with the meaning that the film festival already becomes a film itself in every moment of the audience arriving at the venue, staying, and waiting for a film."
Raising anticipation with the release of the official poster, the 31st Busan International Film Festival will take place for ten days from Tuesday, October 6 to Thursday, October 15 around the Cinema Center.
