About this audio guide
This guide to the Busan Museum of Movies in Busan opens with a filmmaker pressing a palm into wet cement in front of a crowd, part of a handprint ritual that has followed the Busan International Film Festival since its early years. It traces how stars from Jeremy Irons to Kitano Takeshi and Dario Argento have knelt on the pavement of nearby BIFF Square to leave a permanent print, and how the museum itself, opened in twenty seventeen as the country's first built entirely around watching and making films, extends that same instinct indoors. You'll hear about the ten thousand pieces of Korean film history inside, from costumes to rebuilt studio sets. Stand close enough at BIFF Square afterward and you can still trace the fingerprints in the stone.
