Looking at short films “UP CLOSE”, into the beauty of moments in our lives.

“The Hub of Asian Short Films” Busan International Short Film Festival unveiled this year’s poster.

To take place between April 25 and 30, the 34th Busan International Short Film Festival produced its official poster based on the photography Hello Stranger by KIM Hyungwook.

Backwoods explorer and photographer KIM Hyungwook won the Grand Prize from Portrait at the National Geographic Photography Contest 2009, and continues to showcase his works though group and personal exhibitions. With the goal of building thousands of libraries, he is active in various cultural sharing activities throughout remote villages in India, Pakistan, Nepal, and mountain villages in Korea.

Photographer KIM Hyungwook’s Hello Stranger leaves room for reflection depending on the viewer’s perspective, either as a child’s curious outlook into the world, or a frightened look into a strange world.

The official poster of Busan International Short Film Festival is an expression of Busan International Short Film Festival’s wish to share “UP CLOSE” the compact but powerful, reflective beauty of short films with an audience still unfamiliar with short films.

The 34th Busan International Short Film Festival poster can be viewed at BISFF official website (www.bisff.org) and at the photographer’s homepage (http://www.worldedge.kr/)
