PiFan is the second largest film festival in Korea after the Busan International Film Festival, and focuses on a wide range of science fiction, fantasy, and horror films from around the world.

Diverse filmmakers and moviegoers come to Puchon

In addition to Mehra, Hiroshi Takahashi, the writer behind the Japanese horror movie “Ring,” Richard Gale of “SPOON vs. SPOON” and designer and visual art director Christian Lorenz Scheurer, who created this year’s poster, will all be on hand for a variety of meetings and events.
