Ahead of its opening, the 31st Busan International Film Festival has unveiled its official poster.

The core motif of the officially released poster for the 31st Busan International Film Festival, announced on the 7th, is "group portrait" (군상).

This poster captures the audiences who visited last year's Busan International Film Festival. Rather than simply depicting spectators watching the festival, it highlights audiences as active participants who help complete the film festival together. The diverse expressions and narratives of those who attended the film festival with their unique perspectives are woven into the poster, reminding us of the audience's central role in the event.

The depiction of audiences as a group symbolizes the countless encounters and moments that make up the film festival. It encapsulates the stories of audiences experiencing the celebration in their own ways into a single landscape, conveying the message that only when the experiences of numerous audiences come together does a film festival truly take shape.

This year's official poster was planned and designed by art director Choi Soon-dae, who has served as art director since the 2nd Busan International Film Festival, designing both posters and festival spaces.

Art director Choi Soon-dae stated, "The film festival has always been completed by the presence of audiences who fill the seats. We created this poster to convey the meaning that every moment of an audience arriving at the venue, staying there, and waiting for a movie is already a film in itself."

The 31st Busan International Film Festival will be held over ten days from October 6 (Tuesday) to October 15 (Thursday) at the Busan Cinema Center.
