Busan film fest brings cinema magic, star power to Korea's 'second city'
Last Friday saw the wrapping up of the 29th Busan International Film Festival (BIFF), that electric time of the year when Korea’s oft-neglected second city is temporarily transformed into the most glamorous spot on the peninsula. This year’s fest was a resounding success, drawing industry folks, aficionados, media and festival organizers from across Asia and beyond for 10 days of movies, events, boozy soirees and enough schmoozing to power all of Los Angeles for a good month.
