Bucheon Choice is BiFan’s competition section which presents the original films from the latest genre titles all over the world. Its selection criteria are creativity and originality. The section discovers and presents the titles with the new points of views that subvert the values which are taken for granted, the original styles, and challenges against the conventional genre grammars in commercial films.
Among selected titles, 21 Nights With Pattie boasts the tolerant views which don’t judge the eccentric character while Under The Shadow describes wonderfully ‘the return of the suppressed’ through the faceless woman covered by a piece of cloth. Also The Lure shows the youthful energy of the Polish cinema bounding forward lately and The Similars uses a metaphor of the character ‘identifying’ himself with the space of the terminal to express the oppression of the absolute. In If Cats Disapperared From The World, the insect from Kafka’s ‘Metamorphoses’ transforms into the sweet cat and cogitates on the existence. And the Taiwanese The Tenants Downstairs which explores the scary scene happening upstairs can be called as this year’s discovery in Asian cinema.
There would be awards for the features in Bucheon Choice: four awards by the international jury members and audience award by the audiences’ vote.
