In the middle of this ice covered winter,

Headed to awaken spring with the story of “us”.

Making its jump towards becoming “the hub of Asian short films”, Busan International Short Film Festival unveiled this year’s poster.

To take place between April 22 and 26, the 33rdBusan International Short Film Festival produced its official poster based on the drone photography Ways by Busan born photographer Oh Seunghwan.

In an effort to escape this year’s unusually cold winter and make way for a warm spring, the 33rdBusan International Short Film Festival is preparing stories, not your story or my story, but “our” stories. The poster presents a hope of the warm spring amid the harsh conditions of winter. The picture also makes a symbolic expression of the road Busan International Short Film Festival is taking toward the hub of short film festivals.

Photographer Oh Seunghwan focuses, not on the various scenery and things seen in Ways, but rather on the diverse viewpoints of those looking at it. His photograph thus walks parallel with Busan International Short Film Festival, where myriads of films and different stories coexist.

We hope that the 33rdBusan International Short Film Festival poster will give the audience a sensory view of the short film’s reflection and a moment’s capture. The Busan International Short Film Festival poster can be viewed at our official website (www.bisff.org) and at the photographer’s homepage (http://www.dronepress.co.kr).

Meanwhile, Busan International Short Film Festival has again received a record number of 4,497 films entering the competition section, making the admission rate 1 in 89. The films making it to the finals in International and Korean Competitions will be announced on February 25 through the official website (www.bisff.org).
