Busan International Film Festival run from governor and non-benefit association. The focus of the BIFF is introducing new films and first-time directors, especially those from Asian countries. Another notable feature is the appeal of the festival to young people, both in terms of the large youthful audience it attracts and through its efforts to develop and promote young talent. Therefore it is hard to calculate for economy benefit in own festival; even it was good economy impact to local community. These researches need more specific data from local community.
