The Korean Film Council (KOFIC) is a government-supported body which aims to support the development and promotion of Korean films. It acts in much the same way as Screen Australia does for the Australian industry. It provides a wide range of information about the Korean film industry, from box office through to an annual support policy, providing distribution/international sales company contacts and welcomes any inquiries from overseas regarding Korean. www.kofic.or.kr/english
The Korean Movie Database (KMDB) is Korea’s equivalent of IMDB (The Internet Movie Database). It provides detailed information about Korean films, as well as their cast and crew. No matter what Korean film you are looking for, it is the right path to reach for the Korean film dictionary. www.kmdb.or.kr/eng
The Korean Film Archive (KOFA) aims to collect, preserve and display the many works of Korean directors in a bid to maintain the materials physical condition and wide availability. They also collect all print and media materials related to film, such as Movie posters and screenplays. In the new digital age they also offer a superb online service, which features over 300 films available for users to stream. For those visiting Korea it is highly recommended that you attend the Archive, and take advantage of the wonderful collection on public display. www.koreafilm.org
