The 31st Busan International Film Festival opened on the afternoon of October 6 with an opening ceremony and red-carpet event at the Busan Cinema Center in U-dong, Haeundae-gu, Busan, according to Chosun Ilbo photo captions and a Hankook Ilbo report. The festival runs until October 15. Chosun Ilbo captions say this edition screens 316 films from 59 countries, while a separate Chosun Ilbo caption gives 59 countries and 247 official invited films and names «낮과 밤은 서로에게» as the opening film. Hankook Ilbo places the ceremony on the outdoor stage of the Busan Cinema Center in Haeundae-gu. [ 1 , 29 , 34 ]
Actress Kim Min-ha hosted the opening ceremony, according to a Chosun Ilbo caption; Hankook Ilbo said she hosted it alone. Hankook Ilbo also reported that this year Busan was officially selected as an A-list festival by the International Federation of Film Producers Associations (FIAPF), which it said put the event alongside Cannes, Berlin and Venice for the first time. [ 29 , 34 ]
Michelle Yeoh received the 2026 Asian Filmmaker of the Year award at the ceremony, Hankook Ilbo reported. Chosun Ilbo also identified her on the red carpet as the award's recipient. «아시아 영화인상을 받게 돼 영광스럽다» she said, adding that «제31회 부산국제영화제가 이룬 성취에 대해서도 축하의 말을 전하고 싶다». She said the work was «혼자서는 해낼 수 없는 일» and thanked those who had stood behind the films. Hankook Ilbo said a special programme screens four of her films — «검우강호», «에브리씽 에브리웨어 올 앳 원스», «산디와라» and «우리 할머니는 큐브왕» — three of them chosen by Yeoh herself. [ 27 , 29 , 31 , 34 ]
Chosun Ilbo published numerous red-carpet photo captions through the evening naming arrivals. They included actors Fan Bingbing, Jeon Do-yeon, Hwang Jung-min with director Na Hong-jin, Jo In-sung, Jung Woo-sung and Hyun Bin together, Kim Hye-ja in hanbok, Lee Sun-bin, Noh Jung-ui, Kim Do-yeon, Park Ji-hyun, Park Sung-woong, Moon Sung-keun, Lee Yi-kyung and Shim Eun-woo; singers Kim Da-hyun, Eric Nam, Shuhua of (G)I-DLE and Beenzino; producer Kim Tae-ho; and international guests Zhang Yimou, Michieda Shunsuke, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Alfonso Cuarón with his son, director Jonas Cuarón.

The documents do not resolve how many films are being shown. Chosun Ilbo captions repeat 316 films from 59 countries, while one Chosun Ilbo caption gives 247 official invited films from 59 countries. Neither figure is reconciled in the sources, and the documents do not state whether the smaller number counts official invitations only. [ 1 , 29 ]
