Community BIFF venues also operate separately. After choosing a film, check its actual screening venue.\n\n| Item | 2026 announcement |\n| --- | --- |\n| Festival dates | Tuesday, October 6 to Thursday, October 15 |\n| Screening scale | 8 theaters and 31 screens, including Community BIFF |\n| Officially invited films | 247 films from 59 countries |\n| Community BIFF | 69 films |\n| Main venues | Busan Cinema Center, CGV Centum City, Lotte Cinema Centum City, and others |\n| Booking opens for regular screenings, Master Class, and Cine Class | September 21 at 14:00 |\n| Booking opens for the opening and closing ceremonies, Open Cinema, Midnight Passion, Actors House, and Community BIFF | September 17 at 14:00 |\n\nThe festival scale follows the [BIFF overview and features](https://biff.kr/kor/addon/10000001/page.asp?page_num=10738). Booking times are Korea Standard Time.\n\n## How to check the 31st Busan International Film Festival screening schedule\n\nCheck the official website for schedules by date, venue, or section. A screening code is the number used to find a screening when booking. Even for the same film, it is best to check both the date and venue.\n\n1. **Choose the date of your visit.** Open the schedule for that date under “Screening Schedule” on the website.\n2. **Check the venue.** If you have decided how far you can travel, narrow your search using the venue schedules.\n3. **Note the screening details.** Write down the film title, start time, venue, and screening code.\n4. **Check the viewing details.** Check the age rating, subtitles, and GV label before booking.\n\n| Schedule label | Meaning |\n| --- | --- |\n| Screening code | Number used to look up a screening when booking |\n| GV | Meeting with guests |\n| 묶 | Screening of several films together |\n| KK | Audio description and descriptive subtitles for viewers with visual or hearing impairments |\n| NO | No dialogue |\n\nThe schedule lists the opening ceremony for October 6 at 18:00. Its screening code is 001. It takes place at the Roof Theater at the Busan Cinema Center. The opening film is “Day and Night Are for Each Other.” [Official BIFF schedule](https://www.biff.kr/pop/20260917_1400/schedule_kor.asp)\n\n## Program overview and what to look for\n\nChoosing a program that fits your interests makes it easier to select a screening. “On Screen” is the section for drama series. “Korean Cinema Today” presents contemporary Korean films. You can find individual titles in the [official BIFF program](https://www.biff.kr/kor/).\n\n| Interest | Program to check | 2026 announcement |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Drama series | On Screen | 3 titles: “Sweet Part-Time Job,” “The Remarried Empress,” and “Blue Road” |\n| New Korean films | Korean Cinema Today | 3 Special Premieres and 6 Panorama films |\n| Outdoor viewing | Open Cinema | Screenings at the Roof Theater at the Busan Cinema Center |\n| Late-night viewing | Midnight Passion | A program for watching several films late at night |\n| Conversations with actors | Actors House | Events with separate schedules and booking codes |\n\nIf you want to meet an actor, distinguish between a film screening and a separate talk event. Schedules have been announced for Actors House appearances by Lee Min-ho, Kim Go-eun, Kim Min-ha, and others. For example, Kim Go-eun’s event is on October 8 (South Korea) from 16:00 to 17:00. It takes place at the Culture Hall on the 9th floor of Shinsegae Department Store Centum City. [BIFF Actors House](https://biff.kr/kor/addon/10000001/page.asp?page_num=10877)\n\nCheck again shortly before your screening whether the GV will take place. The notes on the official schedule state:\n\n\u003e GV (meeting with guests) may change without prior notice.\n\u003e\n\u003e Document: BIFF Screening Schedule Guide\n\n## Ticket prices and viewing options\n\nRegular screenings cost 10,000 won per ticket. Prices vary by event type. The amounts below are the standard prices in the [2026 BIFF ticketing guide](https://www.biff.kr/kor/addon/10000001/page.asp?page_num=11395).\n\n| Category | Price per ticket |\n| --- | ---: |\n| Regular screenings and Cine Class | 10,000 won |\n| Actors House and Master Class | 15,000 won |\n| Midnight Passion | 20,000 won |\n| Opening and closing ceremonies | 30,000 won |\n\nIf you are eligible for a discount, check the proof required before paying. Seniors, people with disabilities, and people recognized for national service receive a 3,000 won discount on their own tickets. Proof of eligibility for discounted tickets must be checked on-site.\n\n## Box office dates and remaining seats\n\nYou can buy tickets on-site when seats or canceled tickets are available. Visiting a box office does not guarantee a seat. The booking schedule press release says that all regular seats are sold online. [BIFF booking schedule press release](https://biff.kr/kor/artyboard/mboard.asp?Action=view\u0026intSeq=102573\u0026strBoardID=9611_01)\n\n| Box office | 2026 operating dates | Hours |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Busan Cinema Center outdoor box office | October 6~15 | 08:30~20:30 |\n| Busan Cinema Center, Cinema Mountain 6th floor | October 7~15 | 08:30~15 minutes after the last screening begins |\n| Megabox Busan Theater, 4th floor | October 8~11 | 09:30~20:00 |\n\nCheck the hours of other box offices by venue. The full table is under “BIFF Box Office Locations and Hours” in the BIFF ticketing guide.\n\nA separate, limited number of seats are available at the counter for people who have difficulty using digital services. This is for viewers aged 65 or older and people with disabilities. They can buy tickets for regular screenings on the same day or the following day. On opening day, the outdoor box office handles only screenings for the following day.\n\n## When is the cancellation and refund deadline?\n\nYou can cancel up to 60 minutes before a screening starts. Fees depend on how many days remain until the screening date. During some periods, a fee applies even if you cancel on the day you book. [BIFF cancellation and refund FAQ](https://biff.kr/kor/addon/10000001/page.asp?page_num=10943)\n\n| Cancellation time | Per regular ticket | Per opening or closing ceremony ticket |\n| --- | ---: | ---: |\n| At least 6 days before the screening date | None | None |\n| 5~3 days before the screening date | 1,000 won | 3,000 won |\n| From 2 days before the screening date until 60 minutes before the screening | 3,000 won | 9,000 won |\n\nIn the 5~3-day period, there is no cancellation fee if you cancel on the day you book. From 2 days before the screening date, a fee applies even on the day you book. Fees are waived if a schedule changes or is canceled for reasons attributable to the festival.\n\n1. For a mobile ticket, open the details under “Booking Confirmation/Cancellation.”\n2. Select the seat you want to cancel and proceed with the cancellation.\n3. For a paper ticket, return the physical ticket to a BIFF box office.\n\n## What to check between booking and admission\n\nYou need the actual mobile or paper ticket to enter. Screenshots and booking confirmation notifications are not accepted as tickets. If you are seeing several films, allow time to travel between venues. [BIFF venue operating information](https://biff.kr/kor/addon/10000001/page.asp?page_num=10899)\n\n1. **Open your mobile ticket.** After logging in, select your mobile ticket under “Booking Confirmation/Cancellation.”\n2. **Check when the previous film ends.** Leave enough time to reach the next venue.\n3. **Allow separate time for a GV.** If you book another screening immediately after a film ends, you may not be able to stay for the entire conversation.\n4. **Arrive for the start of the first film.** A bundled screening does not allow entry starting with a film in the middle of the program.\n\nAdmission generally begins 15 minutes before a screening. This may vary depending on conditions on-site. Entry is restricted once 15 minutes have passed after the screening starts. If you enter late, your booked seat may not be guaranteed.\n\n## Are volunteer recruitment and citizen invitations separate?\n\nVolunteer recruitment and citizen invitation events are separate from ticket booking. Volunteer applications closed at 23:59 on July 12, 2026. You can check the recruitment status in the [BIFF volunteer recruitment notice](https://jrs.jobkorea.co.kr/biff/volunteer/Agi/Invite).\n\n- Volunteering: Check the selection and activity dates in the recruitment notice\n- Citizen invitations: Check the entry period and winner eligibility requirements in the Busan Transportation Corporation notice\n- Attending a screening of your choice: Check remaining seats on the official BIFF ticketing site\n\nCheck citizen invitations on the [Busan Transportation Corporation event list](https://work.humetro.busan.kr/homepage/default/event/list.do?menu_no=1001020416). A notice appearing in search results does not mean entries are currently open.","content_html":"\u003cp\u003eThe 31st Busan International Film Festival runs from October 6 to 15, 2026, at and around the Busan Cinema Center.
