SEOUL -- This year's Pusan International Film Festival, the largest in Asia, will feature an expanded lineup and more world premieres than ever before, organizers said Tuesday.
The PIFF will unspool 275 films during its Oct. 4-12 run. Of those, 66 are world premieres and 26 are international premieres, including all 11 movies in the New Currents competitive section. An additional 101 titles are making their Asian debuts.
Among the premieres are Japanese director Takashi Miike's "Crows -- Episode 0", Bejing-based filmmaker Zi'en Cui's "Only Child, Upward, Downward, Forward, Backward, Rightward and Leftward" and Korean-American helmer Michael Kang's "West 32nd".
The PIFF kicks off with the world premiere of Feng Xiaogang's war movie "Assembly" and will close with the international premiere of the Japanese anime title "Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone," both announced last week.
New sections this year include the Gala Presentation, featuring four new titles by leading directors in Korean and Asian cinema, and Flash Forward, dedicated to first and second efforts by new Asian directors.
