The 31st Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) has announced three jurors for the New Currents Award, including Indian director Rima Das. The other jurors named are Chinese producer Shan Zuolong and Korean actor Shim Eun-kyung.
The New Currents Award recognizes emerging talent, and BIFF sources describe it as a platform for up-and-coming Asian directors. Films considered for the prize come from BIFF’s Competition and Vision sections, with debut feature films listed as eligible. While the outlets agree on Rima Das’s selection, coverage varies in detail: Variety provides the full three-member jury lineup and eligibility framework, while NDTV focuses primarily on Das’s appointment.
