Asian Contents & Film Market (ACFM) 2026

Who should cross for this

Sales agents, producers, buyers, IP holders, financiers, and audiovisual executives attending Busan’s co-located film market during BIFF.

ACFM concentrates Asia–Pacific film and IP dealmaking beside BIFF, so North American and regional teams can run market days and festival screenings in one Busan week without splitting to another city.

Suggested trip length: 4–5 nights covering market days plus one BIFF buffer night

Buy the badge that matches your week

Early-bird and general windows already closed by verification day for many buyers; on-site and day-pass options remain on the published rate card. Badge benefits include market access, online market tools, limited daily festival ticket reservations, and related meeting systems—read the live benefits list before assuming screening rights or Cinando access timelines.

Keep BEXCO and Cinema Center as two campuses

Market meetings sit at BEXCO; public festival energy sits at Busan Cinema Center a short metro hop away. Plan transfer time between them, and do not schedule a hard screening against your densest market hour. If you need Busan Story Market or Producer Hub programming, confirm those rooms on the ACFM site rather than assuming they sit in the same hall pocket.

Use the online market for pre-work

Online booths and market screenings open earlier than the on-site floor. If your flight lands midweek, finish digital lineup reviews before you walk Halls 4A–F. Bring a shortlist of companies; an unfocused market day burns the badge.
