The Busan International Kids' Film Festival Organizing Committee hosted its general meeting for this year’s festival at Busan City Hall on February 12, 2015.

 

The Busan International Kids' Film Festival began as a pre-festival event in 2005. As the top kids’ film festival in Korea, the event is entering its ninth year. From this year, the festival will expand its program from kids to youths under the age of 18 and has changed its name to “Busan International Kids & Youth Film Festival.”

 

This year’s festival will be held from July 30 to August 4 for 6 days and will screen over 100 kids and youth films from 30 countries. Previously, the festival had been held for five days.

 

Many popular programs at the festival are better than ever including film & fun, cinema sports, tent-theater, poster contest and exhibition, and animation music concert. Various programs for kid and youth’s experience and participation will be offered. The festival is expected to become the best kids’ film festival in Asia.

 

Citizen targeted projects are planned to be expanded by offering educational programs in cooperation with the Busan Cinema Center and increasing the number of film screenings nationwide.
