International Sales Companies
Up until the late 1990s Korea didn't have any major international sales companies, and it was very rare for any Korean film to be sold overseas. After the formation of Mirovision, however, new sales companies began to aggressively market Korean films abroad, with very good results. Since then Korean films have been sold to countries all over the world, with Japan emerging as the biggest market and Chinese-speaking territories the second-biggest. These days there are 9-10 major sales companies in Korea, some representing major distributors (Cinema Service and CJ Entertainment, which merged their international sales operations in 2005), some focusing on the work of a major production company (Kang JeGyu Films, e pictures/Myung Film) and some operating independently (Cineclick Asia and Mirovision). Festival programmers or companies looking to import Korean films should contact the companies below (check their websites for more information).

Distributors
Korea has a large number of local distributors, but two companies dominate: CJ Entertainment and Cinema Service. Cinema Service was founded in the mid-1990s by Kang Woo-suk, a successful producer and director (Two Cops), and since that time it has steadily expanded to become a powerhouse in the local industry. CJ Entertainment is a division of Cheil Jedang Corporation, and is also a founding member of SKG DreamWorks in Hollywood. Both companies distribute large numbers of local and imported films in Korea, and CJ Entertainment also distributes directly into other countries in Asia. P> Several more large local distributors have entered the mix in the past few years: Showbox (a division of the Orion Group, formerly Tongyang Confectionary), Korea Pictures, Tube Entertainment, Show East, and Big Blue Film. Lotte Cinema has also indicated it will enter the market.
There also exist a large number of Korean branch offices for Hollywood studios which have been distributing directly into Korea since 1988. Some of these studios occasionally distribute Korean films as well; Phone, Sorum, Take Care of My Cat and Bungee Jumping of Their Own were all distributed by foreign branch offices. International sales and festivals for these films are usually handled by Korean sales companies, however.

Film Commissions
Film commissions are organizations that are devoted to assisting local and foreign filmmakers with location shooting. They help filmakers to obtain shooting permits, apply for visas for foreign crews and actors, rent film equipment or studios, pay local taxes, etc. Note that the Korean Film Commission (KOFIC) is not a film commission in this sense -- it is a promotional body, and should not be confused with the organizations below.
Korea's first film commission, the Busan Film Commission, was established in 1999 and has grown to become a leader in the region through its hosting of the Busan International Film Commission & Industry Showcase (BIFCOM) each year during the Pusan film festival, and through its efforts to launch an Asian Film Commission Network (AFCNet). Other film commissions in Seoul, Jeonju, Jeolla Namdo Province, Daegu, Jeju Island, and Gangwon Province have been formed or are in the process of being formed. Korea also plans to put together a network to link all of these local commissions.
If you are a foreign filmmaker interested in shooting in Korea, feel free to contact any of these organizations for free advice and assistance. If you are not yet sure what part of Korea you would like to shoot in, I recommend contacting the Busan Film Commission, as they are the largest and most experienced.
