Wavve, Online Service for Film and Drama Festivals in August and September

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] Online video service (OTT) Wave is strengthening cooperation with the film industry by consecutively hosting 'Online Film Festivals.'

Content Wave, which operates Wave, announced on the 5th that it will operate online screening rooms for five international film festivals, including films, dramas, and media art, until September.

In August, the '16th Jecheon International Music & Film Festival,' the '20th Seoul International Alternative Video Art Festival,' and the '17th Cheongju International Short Film Festival,' and in September, the '15th Seoul Drama Awards' and the '22nd Seoul International Women's Film Festival' will be introduced to online audiences through Wave in succession.

Wave provides major works of the film festivals, including opening films, in simultaneous online screening rooms. Earlier, in May, Wave operated the Jeonju International Film Festival online screening room, supporting film fans who could not enjoy the festival due to the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) by enabling them to watch the works.

Lee Hee-joo, head of policy planning at Content Wave, said, "Based on the successful experience of operating the country's first international film festival online screening room, we will continue to cooperate with the film industry."
