Kim Jiseok Award
Appearance
Kim Jiseok Award is an annual film award, presented by the Busan International Film Festival to films in the competition category for the Korean and Asian directors who have directed more than three feature films. The award is named after the late Kim Jiseok, the festival's co-founder, deputy director, and head programmer, who died in May 2017.[1] During the same year, the award was first created.[2]
Each year, two films are selected and awarded a cash prize of US$10,000 each.[3] Since its inception until 2021, the winners are selected from the festival's A Window on Asian Cinema section. In 2022, the festival launched the award's own competition section.[4]
