[BIFF Press Release] BIFF Officially Recognized as an FIAPF ‘A Festival’

[BIFF Press Release] BIFF Officially Recognized as an FIAPF ‘A Festival’The Busan International Film Festival (BIFF), Asia’s largest film festival, has been officially recognized as an ‘A Festival’ under the newly reformed accreditation framework of the International Federation of Film Producers’ Associations (FIAPF). With this classification, BIFF joins a select group of 17 international film festivals worldwide, standing alongside Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Locarno, and San Sebastián, reaffirming its global standing and influence.FIAPF Reform: Transitioning to a Single Unified Accreditation FrameworkFounded in 1933, FIAPF is the leading global organization that accredits international film festivals based on rigorous professional quality and reliability standards. Previously, FIAPF accredited festivals under four categories: Competitive, Competitive Specialised, Non-Competitive, and Documentary Short Film. The organization has now significantly reformed its accreditation program, introducing a single unified framework that better highlights the international impact and work of festivals.As part of the reform, the new ‘A Festival’ classification identifies festivals that demonstrate the highest level of international impact, regardless of programming format or genre. The assessment is based on two years of both quantitative and qualitative data collected across four key areas: film selection, industry connections and activities, press and promotion, and screenings and audiences.Florence Girot, FIAPF festivals senior director said, "The revamped accreditation embraces a forward-looking, impact-focused approach. It gives festivals greater visibility for the work they do individually and collectively, while offering the industry a clearer understanding of their value. This shift aims to strengthen the entire festival ecosystem and reaffirm their role as key allies to films and the sector.”The Busan International Film Festival first received FIAPF accre
