The Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival, launched in 1997, is the representative cultural festival of Bucheon, a UNESCO creative city of literature.

The genre films and talents discovered and introduced by BIFAN become more amplified and can meet the world through the festival’s industry program, B.I.G. built upon the foundation of the Network of Asian Fantastic Films (NAFF), which launched in 2008 to help with the production and development of genre films, B.I.G has developed into a platform that represents the genre film industry. Asian genre filmmakers have been discovered and nurtured through the world’s first genre film project market, It Project, and our film education program, Fantastic Film School. Through Made in Asia, we have accumulated data on popular movies in Asia and created a network of industry leaders.

This year’s BIFAN Industry Gathering (B.I.G.) takes place from the 7^th to the 9^th of July and brings strengthened globalized programs with complete onsite schedules and complimentary online programs, including P/I screenings, workshops, and industry meetings.

Why b.square?

The directors and producers of projects selected by the ‘NAFF Project Market’ have hybrid and onsite business meetings with domestic and international investors, producers, distributors, and various people from film organizations in 30-minutes blocks. The business meetings scheduling is held via the one-to-one meeting management platform b.square, which has a simple procedure and provides the optimal user environment.

b.square provides not only convenience for the B.I.G. guests and project participants but also an efficient operation and monitoring system. Once registered B.I.G. guests and project participants input the meeting times they are each available at and request and accept meetings in advance, the end product is a ready-to-go agenda with the participant's meetings that can be shared with colleagues and downloaded.
