The 13th Asian Pacific Film Festival with UNESCO ended its grand finale at Exhibition Centre in Brisbane's South Bank on last 20th November. 

In particular, the opening event of the Asian Pacific Screen Awards was opened with a special theme called "Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Korean Cinema" and includes author Oh Jung-mi of Burning, who won the Best Film Award last year.
