    The Korean Film Council (KOFIC; Korean: 영화진흥위원회; Hanja: 映畵振興委員會) is a state-supported, self-administered organization under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) of the Republic of Korea.[1]

    History[edit]

    KOFIC was launched in 1973 as the Korean Motion Picture Promotion Corporation (KMPPC). It changed its name to Korean Film Commission in 1999, to be set up as a self-regulating body that could institute film policy without requiring the ratification of the Ministry of Culture. It changed its name once more to Korean Film Council in 2004 to avoid confusion with local film commissions that provide support for location shooting.[2][3]

    Roles[edit]

    KOFIC is composed of nine commissioners, including one full-time chairman and 8 committee members appointed by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in order to discuss and decide on the main policies related to Korean films.[4]

    It aims to promote and support Korean films both in Korea and abroad.[5][6][7][8]
