Country South Korea First awarded 1958 | Presented by Busan Ilbo | |
Awarded for Excellence in cinematic achievements | ||
The Buil Film Awards (Hangul: 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.
