The Busan Cinema Center (Korean: 영화의전당), also called Dureraum (두레라움; lit. 'enjoying seeing movies together'), is the official venue of the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF), located in Centum City, Busan, South Korea. The about US$150 million (KRW 167.85 billion) center opened on September 29, 2011, almost three years after construction began.
The building won the International Architecture Award and the Chicago Athenaeum in 2007. As of July 2013, it has the Guinness World Record for the longest cantilever roof. The center was designed by the Austrian architectural design firm Coop Himmelb(l)au and constructed by Hanjin Heavy Industries.
