ACFM 2026 returns for its 21st edition, taking place over four days from 10 to 13 October at Exhibition Center 2, BEXCO. Registration is now open, with Early Bird pricing for the Market Badge available through 9 August.
This year, ACFM will further strengthen the scope and substance of its three core programs—the Asian Project Market (APM), Busan Story Market (BSM), and the Sales Market—while consolidating Producer Hub, Doc Square, and Platform BUSAN as co-production platforms. Together, these programs will help turn creative visions into tangible business success.
Last year, ACFM recorded its largest edition to date, with industry registration up 14.4% and total attendance up 13.5% year-on-year. The growth in participation translated into tangible business results. A total of 8,438 business meetings were held in the Sales Market during the event, with the total transaction value estimated at USD 71.16 million.
ACFM Director Ellen Y.D. Kim said, “Amid rapid change across the film industry, ACFM aims to expand its role as a global content business hub that connects technology and the market while remaining grounded in cinema’s essential value.”
She added, “ACFM will grow beyond Asia into a global market and become a dynamic platform that helps shape the industry’s next direction.”
