Do not interpret this as eligibility applying to every invited film.\n\nSee the [September 11 event announcement](https://www.biff.kr/kor/artyboard/mboard.asp?Action=view\u0026intSeq=102653\u0026strBoardID=9611_01) for the event lineup.

Leave enough time in your schedule to move to another theater.
