    It was an incredible honor to be part of this event in 2021. Besides its greatness, all communication was perfect by the festival's team and we deeply thank for the official selection. Hope to be with you in person in the following years!

    It was a tremendous honour to have Green Grass selected to the International Competition at BIAF 22 and though we're located in Canada with a language barrier and severe time zone difference, and even in the midst of the COVID pandemic, the Bucheon International Film Festival organizers were incredibly helpful, very quick to respond to inquiries and generally a delight to interact with.
    I cannot recommend this festival, or the people who run it, highly enough.
    Well done, BIAF. Long may you run.

    Delighted that A Quack Too Far was selected for this festival :) I was lucky enough to be able to attend in person and was looked after and welcomed by the festival organisers. Highly recommend BIAF and would love to come back again!
