Participants specializing in directing will bring a total of eight scripts to life. Working in teams, you’ll collaborate from start to finish—script development through post-production—guided by dedicated mentors and professional staff. The final short films will be showcased during the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF 2025), a dream come true for any aspiring filmmaker.

2. Lectures & Mentoring

Throughout the academy, you’ll dive into intensive workshops on directing, cinematography, editing, sound, and production design. Led by experienced mentors, these sessions offer practical training and deeper insights into the philosophy of filmmaking. One-on-one mentoring with leading Asian filmmakers provides an unparalleled chance to get personalized advice and career-building tips.

3. Hands-on Training & Networking

If you’re focusing on cinematography, you’ll benefit from hands-on workshops with seasoned cinematography mentors, including specialists from ARRI. Beyond that, you’ll have the opportunity to mingle and build relationships with Academy alumni, many of whom return to BIFF as guests. These connections often lead to future collaborations, turning your time in Busan into a gateway for further success.

4. MPA-BAFA Film Workshop: Bridge to Hollywood

In partnership with the Motion Picture Association (MPA), the academy hosts a project pitching workshop aimed at bridging Asian cinema with Hollywood. You’ll learn pitching strategies from an industry-savvy producer, and two standout participants will be invited to attend high-profile film events in the United States and Australia. Imagine taking your film career beyond Asia and onto the global stage.

5. Awards & Recognition

The Chanel x BIFF Asian Film Academy grants several accolades, including the CHANEL X BAFA Promising Filmmaker Award (which carries a $5,000 prize) and the ARRI Award for outstanding cinematography participants.
