Busan Film Festival Unveils Selections for IP and Project Markets
Diverse international and Korean IP and film projects are being lined up for the Busan festival's story and film markets.
The overseas IP selections include ten from Taiwan spanning the drama and romance genres with elements of fantasy, thriller and science fiction, and six from Japan (five books and one comic) covering sci-fi, murder mystery, time travel and stage magic. “This year’s lineup features an expanded variety of genres, including crime thrillers, horror, queer cinema, and animated films, alongside the more traditional selections of drama, comedy and romance,” organizers said. Highlights include “Nothing Happened,” the debut fiction feature of Chan Tze-woon, whose 2022 documentary-fiction hybrid “ Blue Island,” about social and political change in Hong Kong, was a multi-festival prize-winner, and “The Camford Experiment,” a coming-of-age piece with a Korean American protagonist, directed by Malaysian filmmaker Woo Ming Jin (“Stone Turtle”).
