Future of fear shown in BIFAN Choice section

[1] Under the banner “Stay Strange,” Korea’s largest genre film festival, the 28th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival, or BIFAN, kicked off on July 4 and ran through Sunday.

This year the film fest has brought a display of 253 films from 49 countries to the small Gyeonggi Province city just west of Seoul. Never the festival to shy away from trends in film -- existential or not -- this year’s edition has notably opened the door to generative artificial intelligence, including 15 AI films and a separate competitive category.

[2] Beyond technological trends, the festival has long celebrated originality, as seen in the eight films in the Bucheon Choice: Features international competition’s explorations of fear, highlighted by well-executed experimentation in genre and drama.

[3] “Oddity,” from Ireland, is a well-paced paranormal thriller. Set mostly in a home disconnected from the world -- no landline and faint cell service -- it preys on fears of the strange and unknown amplified in isolation.

[4] The thrust of the film is built around Carolyn Bracken’s performance in dynamically different dual roles. She portrays Darcy, a blind woman who claims to be able to connect to objects to see what they’ve seen. She returns to the remote rural home one year after her twin sister was murdered there.
