KAFA GLOBAL
We tailor our courses to suit the students’ needs, to assist them in creating
their own work, and help them produce high-quality films.
KAFA GLOBAL
KAFA global education initiative aims to introduce promising foreign film markets to Korean filmmakers in a forward-thinking manner and provide opportunities for exchange with filmmakers from those countries. By doing so, it seeks to lay the groundwork for future film industry collaboration and the planning of international projects. Leveraging its network with overseas film institutions and film schools, KAFA plans to organize co-production workshops for its graduates in collaboration with emerging and young filmmakers from abroad. This initiative will enhance the co-production capabilities of new-generation filmmakers from both Korea and other countries. This program will serve as a cornerstone of KAFA’s global education efforts in fostering creative film talent on an international scale.
This program will be the cornerstone of KAFA global education that fosters global creative film talent.
