\n\tThe Busan International Film Festival has unveiled 23 features for its Vision Korea and Vision Asia sections, filling out its showcase for Korean and Asian independent cinema ahead of the reveal of this year\u2019s main competition slate.<\/p>\n

\n\tBIFF selected 12 films for Vision Korea and 11 for Vision Asia. The two strands were introduced last year, part of a broader overhaul that also saw Busan launch its first formal main competition section. The festival describes its Vision program as a showcase for new Korean and Asian independent cinema. The section grew out of Korean Cinema Today \u2013 Vision, which traditionally focused on emerging Korean filmmakers. When Busan expanded Visions\u2019 remit to cover all of Asia, it also broadened the section to include mid-career directors alongside newcomers.<\/p>\n

\n\tAmong the Korean selections, Park Kun-young returns with Things I Left at the Theater<\/em>, a drama about a film journalist searching for an old friend\u2019s short film. Jang Woojin brings Cosmic Trace<\/em>, centered on two people reflecting on love, loss, chance and fate at the boundary between life and death. Kim Miyoung, whose A Lonely Island in the Distant Sea<\/em> won Busan\u2019s DGK Megabox Award in 2023, is back with Some Detective<\/em>, about a writer confronted by figures from her past. Both Some Detective<\/em> and Shin Dongmin\u2019s Not For You<\/em> received post-production support from BIFF\u2019s Asian Cinema Fund this year. (The full Visions lineup is below.)<\/p>\n

\n\tOn the broader Asian side, Vietnamese filmmaker Nguy\u1ec5n Ho\u00e0ng \u0110i\u1ec7p returns with 1982<\/em>, about a bankrupt filmmaker searching for her missing mother and uncovering family secrets. Her first feature, Flapping in the Middle of Nowhere<\/em>, premiered in Venice Critics\u2019 Week in 2014 before screening at Busan. Filipino filmmaker Arvin Belarmino brings Ria<\/em>, a folk-punk drama about a musician fighting to preserve her home and music, while Mongolia\u2019s Sakhya Byamba, winner of Busan\u2019s New Currents Award in 2013 for Remote Control<\/em>, returns with Zogsool<\/em>, a satire set around an isolated gas station during the early days of COVID-19. Thai actor Inthira Charoenpura makes her directing debut with Bua<\/em>, co-directed by feature newcomer Phensiri Klangsurin.<\/p>\n

\n\tBIFF earlier named Kim Jong-kwan\u2019s The Table: Day and Night<\/em> as its 2026 opening film. The Seoul cafe-set romance, a loose follow-up to his 2016 feature The Table<\/em>, will world premiere at the Busan Cinema Center on Oct. 6, with star Kim Minha hosting the opening ceremony. Michelle Yeoh will receive the Asian Filmmaker of the Year honor, Hong Kong auteur Ann Hui the Chanel-backed Camellia Award and festival founder Kim Dong-ho the Korean Cinema Award.<\/p>\n
