    The On Screen segment is the official OTT section in BIFF.

    This year, the segment boasts a lineup of five Korean films and one Indonesian film.

    This list includes the Waave original series The Deal; I Am A Running Mate by Han Jin-won (a debutant director who secured Best Original Screenplay Academy Award for Parasite); Vigilante; Cigarette Girl; A Bloody Lucky Day; and LTNS.
