Hiroyuki Okiura's highly anticipated second directorial effort, A Letter to Momo is part of the Official Selection of the 16th Busan International Film Festival (BIFF 2011), to be held in Busan, Republic of Korea from October 9th to 14th, 2011. The screening in Busan marks the movie's Asian premiere.

With attendance of more than 180,000 and 300 films from over 60 countries, the Busan International Film Festival is one of the most significant film festivals in Asia. When it started in 1996, it was also the first international film festival in Korea. The focus of the BIFF is introducing new films and first-time directors, especially those from Asian countries. Another notable feature is the appeal of the festival to young people, both in terms of the large youthful audience it attracts and through its efforts to develop and promote young talent.

A Letter to Momo is screening in Wide Angle, a section dedicated to showing outstanding short films, animation, documentaries, and experimental films presenting different and distinct vision via broader cinematic viewpoints.
