Culture, Sports and Tourism Minister Choi Hwi-young met with senior figures from the Korean and Indian film industries Tuesday at Korean Cultural Centre India in New Delhi to discuss ways to expand bilateral film industry cooperation.
The meeting was arranged to combine the production scale and creativity of India — the world's largest film-producing country by volume — with Korea's strength as a global content powerhouse, with the aim of broadening avenues for cooperation and elevating cultural exchanges between the two countries.
The session also included a co-production signing ceremony for the Korea-India joint film project “AMOR” (working title). Korean production company Flix Oven — a Seoul-based studio focused on film and series development with an emphasis on cross-border co-productions — signed an agreement with an Indian counterpart, with production slated to begin in September.
Following the signing ceremony, key figures from both countries' film industries engaged in in-depth discussions on collaboration.
"India exerts tremendous influence in the global content market, backed by its scale of filmmaking and creativity. Korean cinema, meanwhile, has swept the world's major film festivals and earned recognition for both artistic merit and commercial appeal, while K-culture is already beloved worldwide," Choi said.
"This meeting will be a starting point for a new synergy that emerges from combining the creative and industrial strengths of both countries. Korea and India will solidify the foundation for cooperation to produce more successful stories that resonate across borders and cultures."
