CJ CGV has completed film making education project for Indonesian youths for 26 months. CJ CGV and Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) signed an agreement about film making education for the youth in Jakarta and Bandung province, Indonesia in August 2014. They have been working on the project investing USD 600,000 by the end of 2016.

“Toto’s Film Making Class, the film making education program, was a center of the project. The first program started in November 2014, and the program has been going on with Indonesian youths who dream of being filmmakers until December 2016. 307 juveniles have produced 39 films in a total of eight programs: four times in Jakarta, three in Bandung and one in Yogyakarta.” CGV official said.

Besides, CJ CGV and KOICA have prepared a variety of events including holding their own film festivals and participation in other film festivals.
