BIFF Square is where Busan's film festival began, and directors' and actors' handprints are pressed into the pavement. The queue at the seed-hotteok cart pulls your eye first, though. Cross the road north and you're in the market from the film Ode to My Father: clothes, kitchenware and import shops, with an alley of bibim-dangmyeon and fishcake stalls squeezed in. Snack your way along and lunch is done.
