The Busan Peace Film Festival (BPFF), organized by Busan Children's Shoulder Friends, is a platform for everyone to communicate and empathize about peace through films. Since its inception in 2010, it has engaged with a diverse audience through films centered around peace.

The festival runs a competition each year with the aim of discovering and promoting young and innovative independent films, contributing to the expansion of the independent film landscape. Through outstanding films addressing human rights, environment, Korean unification, as well as those against war, violence, and discrimination, the festival hopes to provide an opportunity for people who have forgotten about peace or long for it to reflect on its meaning and find their own paths toward that goal.
