The Buil Film Awards (Korean: 부일영화상) is a South Korean film awards ceremony hosted by the Busan Ilbo newspaper. It began in 1958 as one of the earliest film awards in the country. During the 1950s and 1960s, it was the biggest film awards event in the Busan region, and was held annually until 1973. The event went into a 34-year hiatus from 1974 to 2007 when the film industry lost its appeal due to government censorship and the burgeoning television industry.^[1]

Award ceremonies[]

After an absence of 23 years, the awards were revived when the 17th Buil Film Awards took place on October 9, 2008 at the Grand Hotel in Haeundae District, Busan. It is currently one of the highlights of the ongoing Busan International Film Festival.^[2][3]

The 30th Buil Film Awards was held on October 7, 2021 at the Busan Exhibition and Convention Center (BEXCO Auditorium) in Busan. The highlight of this year's awards was inclusion of Over-the-top (OTT) films such as The Call and Night in Paradise for the first time.
