The iconic BIFF emblem, set against vibrant red sand, takes center stage in this year’s official poster—unveiled in celebration of the 30th edition. Finely etched into nature’s most timeless canvas, the emblem stands as a lasting symbol of the unwavering passion and memories shared by audiences and filmmakers over the past three decades. A bold, hand-drawn ‘30’ stretches across the sand in a single, fluid brushstroke, as if tracing each pivotal step of BIFF’s storied journey. The vibrant texture, elegant calligraphic line, and refined typography come together to create a harmonious blend of modern aesthetics and traditional graphic. The poster was coordinated and designed by Choi Soon-dae, Art Director of BIFF, powerfully symbolizes both the festival’s rich legacy and its new vision.
