Overview

Hosted by Gyeonggi Province and organized by the Gyeonggi Content Agency, the Korea AI Content Awards is an event designed to discover new possibilities for creativity through the convergence of generative AI technology and video content, and to collectively explore the future of the content industry in the AI era. Held at Lotte Cinema Suwon, this awards ceremony will feature a variety of AI video works submitted from both Korea and abroad. In addition to screenings, the event will include post-screening discussions (GVs) where audiences can talk directly with creators, an industry forum discussing the present and future of AI and the content industry, and an awards ceremony to honor outstanding works.

In addition to film screenings and specialized programs, participatory content such as a pop-up store will be available, allowing audiences to experience and enjoy AI content up close. Attendees will be able to see firsthand how technology expands creators’ imaginations and gives rise to a new visual language. The event is set to become a festival of AI content where creators, industry professionals, and audiences come together to share works, technology, and ideas.

Why go

This is a dedicated showcase of AI-generated video content, bringing together works submitted from Korea and abroad alongside post-screening talks (GVs) where audiences meet the creators directly. An industry forum on AI and the content industry and an awards ceremony round out the program, with a pop-up area for hands-on AI content experiences.

Getting there from Seoul

Take a KTX, ITX-Saemaeul, or Mugunghwa train, or Seoul Subway Line 1, to Suwon Station (roughly 40-60 minutes from central Seoul). From Suwon Station, a short taxi ride or local bus gets you to Lotte Cinema Suwon in Gwonseon-gu, where the event is held.

Tips

  • Admission is free, but arrive with time to spare since screenings and the GV talks may have limited seating
  • The venue runs 11:00-21:00, so you can plan around specific screening or forum sessions rather than the whole day
  • Check ahead for the exact schedule of screenings, the industry forum, and the awards ceremony, since programming details were not specified

Best for: film and cinema fans, AI and tech enthusiasts, content industry professionals.
