Netflix’s Creative Asia Returns to Busan
Netflix and the Busan International Film Festival are launching the third edition of Creative Asia, a flagship program designed to boost Asian storytelling for the streaming platform. The event will take place on October 10 at Dongseo University’s Centum Campus, bringing together industry leaders, creators, and talent scouts from across the region.
AI in the Spotlight with Weta FX
Peter Jackson’s renowned visual effects studio, Weta FX, will lead a panel discussion on artificial intelligence in filmmaking. The session will explore how AI tools are reshaping visual effects pipelines, drawing on Weta’s experience with blockbuster projects such as “The Lord of the Rings” and “Avatar.” Attendees will hear technical insights and future projections from Weta’s creative team.
'Possible Love' Takes Center Stage
Creative Asia will also spotlight “Possible Love,” a Netflix original series produced in Asia. The program will showcase the series’ narrative approach, production challenges, and its role in expanding Netflix’s Asian content library. Producers and writers involved with the show will share behind‑the‑scenes anecdotes and discuss the series’ reception in regional markets.
Collaborative Effort
The lineup was shaped by a partnership between BIFF, the Asian Film Commissions Network (AFCNet), and the Motion Picture Association. Their combined expertise ensures a diverse range of topics and networking opportunities for participants. Creative Asia continues to serve as a bridge between Netflix’s global audience and Asian creators, fostering collaborations that bring fresh voices to the platform.
Registration for the event opens soon, inviting filmmakers, producers, and industry professionals to engage with the future of streaming content in Asia.
