To date, FLY has nurtured 309 emerging filmmakers from Korea and ASEAN, driving exchange and growth within the region’s film industry. This festival will introduce domestic audiences to the distinctive colours and charms of ASEAN cinema, which is still rarely encountered in Korea.  

The opening film of the 2025 FLY Film Festival is “I Wanna Be Your Lobster…”, a new feature film by director Pyae Zaw Phyo from Myanmar, who participated in the FLY Post Lab held in Seoul and Busan in May 2025. The film explores the anxieties, dreams, and relationships of youth through striking visuals and music, delicately capturing the sentiments of young generation in ASEAN. The film stars popular Myanmar singer-songwriter and actor Pan Yaung Chel and indie-band drummer Bon Bon, whose performances enhance the film’s musical richness and emotional immersion. Director Pyae Zaw Phyo along with the two lead actors will attend the special screening at the Opening Ceremony on 3 November 2025 at 18:30 in the Middle Teather, Busan Cinema Center.  

Admissions to the screenings and forums are free, on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets are free of charge and can be collected at the Busan Cinema Center ticket box prior to each screening.
