Teen and coming-of-age films produced in Asia will be the focus of a special section at this year's Busan International Film Festival, the 29th edition of which will take place in October.

Featuring 10 titles, the section includes a mix of notable recent productions, such as the Malaysian body horror and self-discovery title “Tiger Stripes,” and a few world premieres.

In addition to “Tiger Stripes,” which won the Grand Prix at Cannes Critics Week in 2023 and was selected as Malaysia’s Oscar contender but was scrapped by local censors, the selection includes: “City of Wind,” winner of the Orizzonti Award for Best Actor at Venice last year; Okuyama Hiroshi’s “My Sunshine,” from Cannes’ Un Certain Regard section this year; Sora Neo’s “Happyend,” which will open in Venice next month; Shuchi Talati’s “Girls Will Be Girls,” winner of the audience awards at Sundance in January; and “Fishbone,” which won a screenplay award at the Shanghai International Film Festival in June.

The two premieres are: “The Uniform,” a story about students who share the same desk, one during the day and the other at night, by Taiwanese Chuang Ching-shen; and “Water Can Go Anywhere,” a story about young people who have moved to a big city in search of work, directed by Chinese Fang Liang.
