The poster for 28th edition of the festival was unveiled on August 15, 2023. Based on Shin Bong-cheol's To My Star, director Choi Soon-dae, who has been working as an art director since the 2nd Busan International Film Festival planned and designed it. The poster has a motif derived from the harmonious interaction of colorful colors and forms of light passing through a rotating prism. Which brings to mind light cast on a screen through a projector lens, and the beautifully blended light on a black background brings to mind a variety of films.
