Busan celebrates sister city relationship with Shanghai Film Festival
To commemorate the 31st anniversary of the sister city relationship between Shanghai and Busan in South Korea, the Shanghai Film Festival in Busan 2024 was inaugurated on March 30 at CGV Cinemas in Busan.
Under the auspices of Shanghai Film Administration and the Chinese Consulate General in Busan, co-hosted by the Shanghai Film Distribution and Exhibition Association and South Korea's CJ CGV, the 2024 Shanghai Film Festival in Busan will feature five movies from March 30 to April 8.
The film lineup, "Pegasus", "Pegasus 2", "Godspeed", "Chang An" and "B for Busy", each to be screened twice, represents Shanghai's film industry and embodies the dynamic spirit of contemporary China, the cosmopolitan allure of Shanghai and the enduring charm of the traditional Chinese culture.
The films featured in this event not only showcase the talent and creativity of China's new-generation directors to Korean audiences but also illuminate the vast potential for collaboration and exchange between Shanghai and Busan within the film industry, according to the organizers.
