food trucks at Busan Food Film Festival

(City of Busan)

The outdoor program lineup for the 2025 Busan Food Film Festival has been announced, which is set to take place from June 13 to 15 at the Busan Cinema Center.

This year’s event will once again combine film and food, offering a variety of multisensory experiences for visitors of all ages.

The outdoor programs are organized into several zones, including a theme zone showcasing local noodle brands, a food zone with diverse culinary vendors, a flea market zone run by small businesses, and a food therapy zone where children can make vegetable pizzas. These experience-based activities are free to attend.

The performance schedule includes the musical team “Serenade,” juggler Oh Jang-wook, and a cooking-themed stage performance by “Dreaming Chef.” These acts are designed to create a lively atmosphere in the evenings.

In partnership with the Subivexco commercial district, the festival will also operate the “Subivexco Sangsaeng Market,” featuring coupon events, product showcases, and food tastings aimed at supporting local small businesses.

A collaborative pop-up zone titled “Camp Nick with Pure365,” co-hosted with the city’s Waterworks Business Headquarters, will introduce visitors to Busan’s clean tap water through tasting zones, picnic-themed content, and educational activities.

While most outdoor events are free, some programs, such as the Food Salon and Food Therapy, require advance reservations via the Dureraum (dureraum.org) and festival (bfff.kr) websites.
