It was 2002 when the first film festival dedicated to Korean cinema in Europe was presented in Florence. For over twenty years the Florence Korea Film Fest has been the reference point for Asian cinema enthusiasts, its stage has been trodden by Oscar Awards, Golden Palms, Golden Lions but not only, it has also presented to its audience many first-time directors, some of whom have gone on to become international superstars.

The Florence Korea Film Fest audience, which grows steadily every year, was able to experience the best of Korean cinematography by meeting the most prestigious guests also through the numerous masterclasses. The Festival also accompanies its spectators in the heart of Korean culture thanks to art exhibitions and creative workshops. The constant dialogue with its audience means that the Florence Korea Film Fest has become, in its own right, a real institution.
