The Busan Cinema Center (Korean영화의전당; Hanja映畵의殿堂; also called "Dureraum" (두레라움; lit. enjoying seeing movies together) is the official, exclusive[clarification needed] venue of the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF), where its opening and closing ceremonies take place, 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.[1] 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.[2] The center was designed by the Austrian architectural design firm Coop Himmelb(l)au and constructed by Hanjin Heavy Industries.[3][4]
