Busan Film Festival 2025: 5 rising Korean women filmmakers and the movies that shaped them

The Busan International Film Festival in South Korea celebrates its 30th anniversary in September with an expanded and revamped programme. Notable among the new sections is one called 'A Little History of Our Own, 'Take Care of Our Future!'', which focuses on five rising female filmmakers within the Korean industry: Kim Se-in, Kim Cho-hee, Yoon Ga-eun, Yoon Dan-bi and Lim Oh-jeong. Each director will screen a film of their choice that helped influence their artistic perspective, after which they will take the stage together with the director of their selected work for a live discussion that promises a unique insight into both filmmakers and their careers. While perhaps not yet household names, all five women have made a notable impact with their debuts. Their selections are also all bona fide classics, presented for modern audiences to experience on the big screen with a live audience. We take a closer look at the filmmakers and their picks below. 1. Kim Se-in Play Born in 1992, writer-director Kim Se-in made her feature debut with The Apartment with Two Women (2021).
