Pusan International Film Festival underway

The Pusan International Film Festival began yesterday. Now in it's 13th year, the festival opened with Rustem Abdraashev's A Gift to Stalin. The festival is so popular that tickets for the film sold out in just 90 seconds.

Huge crowds gathered to try a catch a glimpse of jury members Anna Karina; Heroes' James Kyson Lee and Korean film star Jang Dong-gun.

The festival will run until the 10th of October and hold a number of Master Classes, Seminars and Conferences as well as screenings.
