Section Guide
Bucheon Choice
World Fantastic Cinema
BiFan’s official competition-showcases 12 feature films
and 12 shorts, presenting the audience with genre
films full of sharp sensibility, talent and energy. If you
enjoy the experimental and bold nature that defines
these genre film directors, the films at Bucheon Choice
are not to be missed.
It is BiFan's most representative section where the
audience can appreciate the world's latest, handpicked
genre films ranging from horror, science fiction, or to
thriller, action and fantasy. If you feel already excited with
the anticipation of watching diverse genre films from
different countries in Europe, Asia and the Americas, you
should first secure your seat for this section.
Vision Express
BiFan Discoveries
This is a special section for those interested in
watching newer and varied films. These films blur the
boundary between genre film and art film and display
a cinematic imagination and sense of experimentation
that strives to provide new visions for the audience.
This section is a new addition to the 19th BiFan film
festival, introducing works discovered and supported by
BiFan. These films were completed through the It Project,
which supports Asian genre films of rich and unique
imagination, and are being shown for the first time in
Korea at BiFan Discoveries.
The Masters
Forbidden Zone
This is BiFan’s Hall of Fame, where the audience can
find new films of masters in genre film and world
cinema. Join us at The Masters section to witness
the deep passion and craftsmanship of these virtuoso
directors.
Extreme films for the BiFan aficionados who love genre
films; these films challenge the limitations of cinematic
imagination and expression, and will go beyond your
common sense or stereotype, defending freedom of
expression. Do not dare join if you do not have the nerves.
Ani Fanta
Fantastic Short Films
This section highlights fun and artistic achievements
in animation. With their everyday fantasy, unbridled
imagination and provocative imagery, this BiFan
selection of animations will be the right choice if you
are seeking those elusive emotive moments not easily
found in live action films.
Short films present thrilling charm that cannot be captured
in feature films. Fantastic Short Films showcases a
selection of short masterpieces that will excite the
audience with their bold imagination, and short yet strong
resonance. Let's discover the treasures of new directors
who will lead the future of genre cinema.
Special Program
BiFan Classic
The goal of this program is to present the unique
characteristics that define each year’s BiFan festival. By
introducing new themes, genre trends, and noteworthy
issues, the Special Program screens important films and
holds in-depth talks with directors and movie experts,
thereby adding depth to the festival.
It reintroduces the classics of genre cinema to the
audience. No one can deny the charm of classic films that
create sensation and infinite inspiration that never fades
away with time. It is a rare opportunity for you to watch
precious, classic films as they are not often screened in
theaters.

First Timers’ Guide
For the best cinematic satisfaction, Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival has started using
movie icons that will help you to understand the movies quickly.
Check out our eight newly themed icons and let them help you enjoy the festival.
2015 New Icon
Know your Theater Locations
1
BiFan takes place between 5 main theaters in central Bucheon City and it may take longer time to get to multiplex theaters than you may expect. Here’s
the tips: Don’t get confused with CGV Bucheon and CGV Sopoong. CGV Sopoong is located in Newcore Outlet, 6th floor and CGV Bucheon is on the 5th
floor of UPLEX Mall, which is a building right across from Hyundai Department Store. If you are heading to Lotte Cinema, keep in mind that Lotte Cinema
is not inside the Lotte Department Store, but in a different building along the main road(5-minute walk from the Lotte Deptment Store). Last but not least
give yourself time for travel.

Whether your favorite movie is sold-out or not, we have limited tickets of all
screenings and they are released for sale on the day of the film screening.
Come early to get them. Only available at the box office.
Don’t Be Late for Screenings
Is arriving 10 minutes late ok? We have no commercials
played before movie starts. If you don’t want to miss the
opening, be on time. No admittance 20 minutes after the

Prepare for Weather
It’s tricky to guess summertime weather in Korea. Heat, humidity,
typhoon and cold air-conditioning, all of them can make you feel
uncomfortable. Bring extra clothes if you are sensitive to the cold air
conditioning.

Japan’s eternal rebel, an activist for anarchism and an artist of violence and eroticism. Even though there are numerous ways to describe him,
there is no one word that can characterize this immortal youth who became a poet at the young age of 17. At this year’s BiFan, we are showcasing
the special exhibition ‘I am (not) SONO Sion,’ co-hosted by the Japan Foundation. The director himself is expected to attend in person to spend
meaningful time with the audience. We look forward to the time of ‘pure blood-red paradox’ spent with him.

Noriko runs away from home. In Tokyo she
meets Kumiko, her BBS friend, who runs a
‘family circle program’, where she takes in
daughters who are unhappy with their lives
and gives them new personalities. But the
circle grows darker after the mass suicide of
54 high school girls.
“This film is a compilation of my soul” said the
director Sono Sion. Love & Peace serves up the
perfect harmony of eccentric characters embedded
in a well-written scenario. Suzuki once dreamed
of being a rocker but is now a regular salary man.
He meets a turtle. He names the turtle and adores
it but throws it in a sewer because his co-workers
laugh at him. The turtle meets an old man who lives
underground and things take an unelected twist.
No Men in sight, only women… and
something unthinkable is that girls kill girls! A
bus full of high school girls are on their way
to a school trip. A sudden gust of wind slices
the bus in half, length-wise killing 40 girls
in the blink of an eye, except Mitsuko our
protagonist, who ducked just in time.

Yu‘s father, a Catholic priest, is urging Yu to
confess, but in order to confess he must sin.
So Yu becomes the King of Tokyo’s photo
voyeurs. Child abuse, fetishism, Catholicism,
sects: Sono Sion has never shied away from
politically incorrect themes. It is almost 4
hours long but nonetheless an extremely
entertaining film that never loses its tension
even for a single moment.
Another sensational story of Sono Sion,
inspired by actual events. On the eve of
the 21stcentury, an incident occurs in the
Maruyama, Shibuya: a woman is murdered
on a rain-drenched night. Mizuno Miki, Togashi
Makoto, and Kaguraza Megumi give their all in
this 3-way-acting duel. The tempestuous lives
of a trio of women are splashed across the
screen via striking imagery.

Retrospective:
Excellent actor Nice Guy, Simon YAM
Talk Program
Since his debut, Simon YAM has appeared in over 200 films and TV drama series. He has appeared in many films as a policeman, while also taking
on the role of different villains, including the boss of a Triad gang and a heartless killer. He has worked on many films regardless of genres and
characters, and if you ask people who worked with him on the set, they’d all respond that “he is a nice person and an excellent actor”. At this year’s
BiFan, he personally chose 5 films for his own retrospective and one of his latest films for the audience. This retrospective is not simply to look back
at his past works, but also enables us to go over what Simon YAM has done as an actor so far and look forward to his acting in the future.
