I would like to warmly welcome you all to the 41st Busan International Short Film Festival (BISFF 2024) !

The BISFF, which started its first steps in 1980, has been striving to discover the potential of Korean short films and to develop short films around the world for the past 40 years. It seems that there have been many difficult situations and rejoicing in good achievements. Now, with the support of all of you, the BISFF will embark on an energetic journey once again. There will be still a long and difficult road ahead, but we will move forward without giving up for the precious encounters and values we will meet along the way.

I would like to express my gratitude to all the filmmakers who have delivered great works. I’m also deeply grateful to our sponsors and support organizations for their unwavering support. I would like to thank the festival staffs and executives for their hard work and dedication to the festival.

I wish you all a happy spring with the BISFF, which opens the spring in Busan, the City of Film.
Thank you.

President of BISFF
