Fantastic Film School marks its 17th year in 2025 and has nurtured over 400 participants. It has become one of Korea¡¯s leading film education programs. Starting in 2025, the school will undergo a rebranding, unifying the festival¡¯s education and production support initiatives under one cohesive brand. Through this, it aims to strengthen its status as an educational platform and further expands the scope of discovering and supporting creators.

To this end, the Fantastic Film School systematically and comprehensively operates customized education for participants, hands-on workshops focusing on practice, and networking programs between creators. Each course focuses on the actual film production process and is structured in stages according to the participants¡¯ capabilities and creative direction.

Especially starting this year, Fantastic Film School will actively introduce AI technology as a creative tool to present new possibilities to creators who have felt limited in the existing genre film production environment. The production environment where AI and films are integrated will expand the method of creation and the area of ??expression, and will help experimental and creative attempts lead to tangible results. In this environment, participants will be able to lay the foundation for growing into next-generation creators who can flexibly respond to technological changes.

The works resulting from the program will be able to meet the audience directly through official screenings and exhibitions during BIFAN. Through this, the Fantastic Film School will continue to share the results of its creations with the outside world and serve as a platform for exploring new cinematic expressions and narrative possibilities.

Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival continues to champion all creators who dream of making films and videos. Stay strange!
