One of the biggest film festivals in Asia, the 26th Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) in 2021, launches a new program for non-theatrical original content for this year, named ‘On Screen’ section.

The 26th Busan International Film Festival in 2021 Launches On-Screen Section and Invites Drama Series from Online Streaming Platforms.

Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) 2021 that will run from October 6 (Wed) to October 15 (Fri), will have a new section, ‘On Screen.’ The new section will feature new highly expected drama shows.

In recent years, BIFF has been receptive to non-theatrical releases. As a result, many Netflix-made movies have been invited to its non-competition sections.

On the press release, the committee of BIFF stated,

“As BIFF accommodates not only traditional theatrical releases but also OTT drama series with the new addition of the On Screen section, it is able to present more diverse and higher-quality works to the audience, whose range of fandom is expanding. On Screen section will be a swift and preeminent entrance into a new area of cinema.”
