The Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFAN), which launched in 1997, is the representative cultural festival of Bucheon, a UNESCO creative city of literature. With "Stay Strange" as its motto, BIFAN strives to be a film festival that cheers for the nonmainstream, while discovering and giving courage to talents that are pushed to the margins.
Starting in 2016, BIFAN became the first film festival in Korea to introduce immersive VR and XR content and trends in technology. Beyond Reality, which has grown into an independent category, showcases top tier XR pieces and invites key artists from all around the world.
