A Lifetime of Cinema: The Quiet Revolutionary Behind Busan's Rise Kim Dong ho, founder and former director of the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF), is set to receive the Korean Cinema Award on October 6.
This recognition comes after a lifetime of dedication to promoting Korean cinema and paving the way for the country's global success in the film industry.
When Kim founded BIFF in 1996, Korean films were heavily censored by the government, stifling creativity and innovation.
