Director Alfonso Cuarón to attend 31st Busan International Film Festival with son Jonás Cuarón

According to media reports, world-renowned master director Alfonso Cuarón will attend the 31st Busan International Film Festival, which will be held from October 6 to 15, along with his son, director Jonás Cuarón. Director Alfonso Cuarón will attend the opening ceremony held at the Busan Cinema Center on October 6, and plans to meet domestic audiences through a special talk and master class held after an IMAX screening of his representative work, Gravity.

Director Jonás Cuarón, his son, will accompany him on this visit to Busan. Director Jonás Cuarón's new film, Gabacho Champion, has been invited to the World Cinema section and will be screened as an Asian Premiere, with a talk with the audience scheduled after the screening. Gabacho Champion is a work that sharply and playfully captures the lives of Mexican immigrants struggling to survive in the United States, starring Juan Daniel García Treviño, Eddie Marsan, and Rosario Dawson.

Director Alfonso Cuarón has previously won the Best Screenplay award at the Venice International Film Festival for Y Tu Mamá También, and the Golden Lion for Roma. He also won the Academy Award for Best Director for Gravity and Roma, and has directed numerous works such as Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Children of Men. In particular, he co-wrote the screenplay for Gravity with his son, director Jonás Cuarón. Director Jonás Cuarón has since solidified his position by directing works such as Desierto and Chupa.

Meanwhile, the Busan International Film Festival grants the winner of the 'Busan Award Grand Prize', the top prize of the competition section newly established last year, eligibility to submit for the International Feature Film category at the Academy Awards. This is a measure following the amendment to the 99th Academy Awards regulations announced by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences last May.
