The Centum City Barrier-Free Zone Steering Committee, comprised of DSU and the Busan Center for Media, held the 2019 Barrier-Free Media Festival "Bap in BIFF" in the Centum City area of Busan from October 3 to 12.

The name "Bap" derives from a combination of "barrier-free" and "best friend," and is a deliberately inclusive word formulated with the aim of promoting a festival that can be enjoyed by everyone.

The event was part of Busan's local community win-win cooperation project, and was also an official event of the 2019 Busan International Film Festival. In addition to movies, musicals, band performances, and independent film showcases, many barrier-free events and programs were held, including lectures on related fields, new technology exhibitions for the disabled, the establishment of specially-darkened movie theatres, and radio broadcasting for the deaf.

Dongseo University was selected as a community win-win and cooperation support type I (consortium type) project in 2019, and operates the Centum City Barrier-Free Zone and various other barrier-free related programs in order to spearhead cultural and arts programs and access for the disabled.

Also, Media Bus & Radio BIFF FM, held at BIFF Square in Nampo-dong for three days from October 4 to 6, provided listeners with differentiated contents such as musicals produced by DSU, with Professor Oh Sae-joon and students introducing original film musicals.

Sometimes involving acting on the spot, a very new and remarkable experience was provided for listeners and all involved.

Next, on October 9, a barrier-free independent film was screened at the Busan Audience Media Centre, and on October 11 a barrier-free version of the musical Hair Spray was performed at the Sohyang Art Hall.

Finally, barrier-free products produced by DSU professors and students in IT and design majors through the "ldatio" class were exhibited at BIFF Village during the festival.

The DSU LINC+ project team has continuously striven to plan and operate barrier-free related programs that allow both disabled and non-disabled people to enjoy cultural contents, and will continue to operate the Disabled Media Festival at the Centum City Barrier-Free Zone to ensure that everyone can enjoy cultural events together without discrimination.
