The Busan International Film Festival Secretariat announced on the 18th that five Korean commercial films, each with special popular appeal and significance, will be screened in the "Korean Cinema Today - Special Premiere" section. The selected titles are "The Great Flood," "Boss," "Upstairs Neighbors," "Jjangu," and "Project Y."

Director Kim Byungwoo's new film "The Great Flood" depicts the struggle for survival of characters facing an unprecedented disaster. Ra Heechan's "Boss" delivers a comedic portrayal of the desperate competition among organization members, each trying to give up the boss position to one another for their own dreams, ahead of the selection of the next boss.

"Upstairs Neighbors," the latest work from director and actor Ha Jungwoo, tells an unpredictable story that unfolds when an upstairs couple and a downstairs couple, troubled by nightly and unusual noise between floors, end up sharing a dinner together for one night.

"Jjangu" continues the story from the film "Wind," focusing on Jjangu's coming-of-age journey as he moves to Seoul to pursue his dream of becoming a movie actor. Director Lee Hwan's "Project Y" presents a high-stakes crime drama involving two women entangled in black money and hidden gold bars.

This year's Busan International Film Festival will be held for ten days from September 17 to 26 in the area around the Busan Cinema Center.
