Amid fireworks and symphony music, the Korean Peninsula's leading film festival kicked off Thursday in a southern beach resort town despite growing tensions over the North Korea's recent announcement that it tested a nuclear bomb. The mood at the 11th Pusan International Film Festival, also one of Asia's most prestigious, appeared unaffected by the diplomatic fallout from the claimed nuclear test. The film festival retains the old spelling of the South Korean city now known as Busan.
