The 31st Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) is currently underway from October 6th to 15th, 2026, across various venues in Busan, including the Busan Cinema Center. Featuring a total of 316 films, the festival opened with Kim Jong-kwan's 'Night and Day Are Different to Each Other'. While online ticketing is continuously available, there is significant interest in how to secure tickets for sold-out screenings through on-site purchases or cancelled tickets.
According to official BIFF guidelines, any remaining seats not sold online, or tickets that have been cancelled, will be available for purchase at BIFF box offices during the festival period. There is no specific release time for cancelled tickets, so it is advisable to frequently check the official website's ticketing page if a desired film is sold out. General screening tickets are priced at 10,000 KRW, while opening/closing ceremonies cost 30,000 KRW, and Actor's House or Master Class events are 15,000 KRW.
Bloggers suggest that with 316 films available, choosing can be challenging, recommending using the official website's screening schedule to select films based on available dates. A key tip shared is to prioritize screenings with scheduled GV (Guest Visit) sessions, where directors or actors are present, to enhance the festival experience.
