The Korean Film Festival – KOFF brings to Brazil the most critically acclaimed and highest-grossing South Korean films, showcasing both feature-length and short films across various Brazilian cities. Screenings take place in public spaces and cinemas under the curation of filmmaker, producer, and ECA/USP professor, Dr. Rubens Rewald.

The project’s target audience includes youth and adults aged 16 to 40+, cinephiles, students, teachers, and professionals interested in innovation, creativity, and culture. The Festival’s program features a Non-Competitive Showcase presenting 20 films produced in South Korea, and a Competitive Showcase, open to film submissions from both South Korea and Brazil, in three categories.

The project has screened over 100 films, including shorts and features, reaching more than 8 million views on social media from 2023 to 2025. It has also distributed 35,000 free tickets for in-person screenings, hosted international hybrid-format debates, interviews with filmmakers, and workshops in public schools—expanding its national reach with support from the Federal Culture Incentive Law of Brazil’s Ministry of Culture.

Our official sponsors are: CJ Brazil, Hyundai Motor Brazil, Glovis Brazil Logistics, and Atomy Brazil. The Instituto São Paulo de Arte e Cultura – ISPAC, the Secretariat of Culture, Economy, and Creative Industries of the State of São Paulo, and the Ministry of Culture are official supporters of the Korean Film Festival – KOFF.

In 2025, the Korean Film Festival – KOFF enters its third edition, starting in Piracicaba and continuing through six other Brazilian cities: Goiânia, Fortaleza, Porto Alegre, Curitiba, Belo Horizonte, and concluding in São Paulo.
