The nine-day event kicked off with Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-Hsien's "Three Times", while Hwang Byeong-kook's "Wedding Campaign" will close the festival on October 14th.
Opening in 1996, this year's festival is expected to see record highs of 300 films from 73 countries at 31 theaters.
A special screening of films from member nations of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation will celebrate this year's APEC summit to open next month in Busan.
One film from each of the 20 APEC members will be screened during the period.
