7 Films by K-Arts X TikTok to be Invited and Screened at the 25^th Independent Film & Video Maker’s Forum 2021

As a result of the university-industry project for nurturing and funding short-form (short-length video in vertical frame suited for mobile environments and social networks) creators, the Art and Technology Lab (AT Lab) of the K-Arts Art Collider screened seven short-form video contents at the 25th Independent Film & Video Maker’s Forum 2021 (Indie Forum 2021) on July 24 in Megabox Seongsu. Short-form film contents are considered as the next-generation content formats that will replace existing video content such as drama or film.

At the “Indie Expanded 2” session, the AT Lab showcased the seven short films, and by Kkyu Film. Among them, has hit 190 million views so far.

For the aim of the “Indie Expanded 2” session, the programmers of Indie Forum explained, “Since the outbreak of COVID-19, watching video contents on various platforms at home has become popular compared to the decreased tendency of going to theater or film festivals. Lately, the film industry has invested human resources and imagination in the fields of short-form or mid-form content, one-person media, or web drama series. In the “Indie Expanded 2,” we aim to introduce a new form of video content in the contemporary digital-native era to vision the future of film.
