All the sessions will be held at Shinsegae Department Store’s Centum City branch in Haeundae District.

Tickets for the session are priced at 10,000 won ($7.44) and will be fully donated to the international nonprofit organization, Save the Children, according to the festival organizers. Tickets can be purchased on BIFF’s official website from Sept. 24 at 2 p.m.

BIFF, one of Korea’s biggest film events, will kick off its 29th edition on Oct. 2 and run through Oct. 11. A total of 224 films will be screened, including Netflix’s Korean historical film “Uprising” and BTS member RM’s documentary “RM: Right People, Wrong Place.”

Park is also set to host the opening ceremony for the festival on Oct. 2 alongside actor Ahn Jae-hong.
