On June 10, the official press conference of the 29th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival officially kicked off the 29th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (July 3~July 13).
Festival Director Shin Chul declared that Bifan has entered “AI Step 2” this year, following last year’s initial stage, and shared an ambitious goal to train 10,000 filmmakers over the next five years. Director Shin also referenced a famous remark by German filmmaker Werner Herzog, who once said, “Even after 4,500 years, computers will not make better films than I do.” He continued, “We trained an AI model using Herzog’s scripts, interviews, and other materials. The result was a screenplay titled “About a Hero”, which has been selected as this year’s Opening Film at Bifan.”

A South Korean horror, Lee Sang-min‘s short “Hamjinabi” may leave non-Koreans a little cold without any contextual knowledge as to the wedding ritual its story centres around. And indeed, it is a film that may require some pre-reading from its audience if it is to fully engage enough to create its desired effect.
Hamjinabi is screening at Busan International Short Film Festival (Bissf)
Cheol-gyu (Jin Seong-chan) is visited by Young-hoon (Jo Jeong-min), a former classmate he hasn’t seen for some time. Soon to be married to another former classmate, Soon-yi, Cheol-gyu is a little put out by his request to perform the wedding tradition hamjinabi. Asking Nak-gyun (Kim Si-ho) to join him, the pair go into the night to visit Soon-yi’s home, carrying the wedding chest while wearing squid masks. But their journey is an eerie walk into a strange world, uncovering their mistakes of the past.
