By capitalizing on the influence of the Korean Wave, the Korea Youth Film Festival (KYFF), created in 1998, showcases films on diverse topics, including independent films, and hosts special lectures by film directors and industry experts. This aims to position youth interested in visual media as leaders in driving global film development.
It also conducts various programs such as workshops and cinema therapy camps that provide education in various professional film techniques, enabling youth to integrate creative thinking and giving them opportunities to discover the concepts of film culture.
