An Overview of the Film Industry as a Whole:
ACFM 2023 Conference Lineups
The ACFM, with a steadily growing number of
participants each year, firmly solidifies its position as Asia's leading
content market. The ACFM conference lineup of this year, which provides a
comprehensive overview of the Korean & Asian content industry as a whole,
garners much attention.
At the ACFM 2023 Conference,
there will be presentations of BSM (Busan Story Market) Korean and Asian IP
Selections and focusing on Indonesia, which is the centerpiece of this year’s
Special Program in Focus of Busan International Film Festival, the conference
will explore the current status of Asian film industry. Moreover, a rich lineup includes pitching
events held in collaboration with domestic and international content-related organizations
and seminars on legal and technological aspects covering the latest trends in
the content industry.
Firstly, 'BSM Pitch & Match' presents 14 IPs of 30 official
Korean selections, with enhanced story diversity and 10
Taiwanese IPs with ingenious creativity and freedom. A successful case of
remake and new IPs from France will also be introduced. Furthermore, with the
increasing importance of safeguarding creators' rights and fostering a fair
trading environment in the content industry, 'BSM Legal Seminar' will cooperate
with the Korea Entertainment Law Society to
examine critical issues from a legal perspective and discuss possible
solutions.
In
addition to original IPs, outstanding Korean and Asian screenplays and feature
film projects will also be introduced, attracting the interest of investors and
producers. In ‘S#1 Visual Project Pitching Session’, the
