The 31st Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) unveils a 23-film lineup for its Vision section, featuring 12 Korean independent films and 11 Asian entries. The selections are presented across two strands: Vision-Korea and Vision-Asia, with the festival also noting that the main competition lineup has not yet been announced.
The Vision section is described as having grown from the earlier Korean Cinema Today – Vision program. According to reports, it expands into a standalone section that highlights independent filmmakers across the continent. While Variety emphasizes the Vision section’s development and its broader focus on directors throughout Asia, The Hollywood Reporter characterizes the slate as coming from emerging directors and frames it within the wider context of BIFF’s 2026 programming plan.
