Hello and welcome to yet another edition of Issues and Insiders.
It’s Wednesday July 3rd here in Korea.

Today we touch upon this year’s Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival that is poised to officially open tomorrow.
For this I have film critic Pierce Conran live on the line.
Pierce it’s great to have you on.
I also have film critic James Marsh with us.
James it’s a pleasure.
1) Conran, let’s begin with some distinct features about the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival that sets it apart from other film fiestas.
2) Marsh, where do you believe does BIFAN stand among the global genre film festivals?
3) Conran, what can you tell us about the size of this year’s BIFAN, and about the films that look to open and close the event this time around?

5) Marsh, I understand artificial intelligence will be taking center stage at this year’s BIFAN.
Please do elaborate.
6) And Conran, what more can you tell us about the screen productions under the AI Film Competition at this year’s BIFAN including the selection process?
7) Marsh, what are some of the positive implications of using AI in making genre films?
