At the annual board meeting held on March 25, Oh Seok Geun, former chairperson of the Korean Film Council, has been tapped as the new co-director of the Asian Contents & Film Market (ACFM).

“ACFM has significant roles in continuously developing Asian film and audiovisual industry, actively supporting industry professionals and discovering diverse content,” says director Oh. “I will put my efforts on boosting ACFM as a networking place for all market visitors and developing strategic vision for the future market.”

ACFM 2021 will maintain the online format of the previous year for local and international industry professionals who cannot physically be present due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, with various events held onsite for domestic participants only. Details of the physical components, including the Asian Project Market (APM) and Entertainment Intellectual Property (E-IP) Market, will be announced in due course.

Scheduled from October 11 (Mon) to 14 (Thurs), ACFM will be held alongside the 26th Busan International Film Festival for industry professionals worldwide.
Applications for the Asian Project Market (APM) are now open until Tuesday, June 15.

Initiated in 1998 as the Pusan Promotion Plan (PPP), APM links new film projects by emerging or established directors with global film investors, producers or distributors. Every year, creative feature film projects selected by APM are given the opportunity to take their new projects forward with potential investment and co-production partners.
