Busan, South Korea – Busan City’s ‘2025 Busan Food Film Festa’ marked its grand finale at the outdoor theater of the Cinema Center, capping off a week-long celebration of gastronomy and cinema that thrilled attendees and showcased the cultural richness of the region.
Opening Knight: A Night to Remember
The festival kicked off with a bang through its “Opening Knight” event.
