Seoul and Gyeonggi hold a special position
in motion picture industry. Major motion picture industry players
including most movie producers and distributors as well as top three
broadcasters are headquartered in Seoul while Gyeonggi-do retains
abundant resources and infrastructure for shooting including Namyangju
Comprehensive Shooting Facility. Planning, financing and consuming
motion pictures occur in Seoul while actual producing and shooting
are done in Gyeonggi-do. Seoul and Gyeonggi-do are co-dependent
and indispensable to each other to a large extent when it comes
to the motion picture industry.
Seoul and Gyeonggi-do File Commissions have decided to establish
integrated database in motion picture industry in order to provide
those who work in motion picture and broadcastingindustry with more
systematic and effective services. One-stop search service through
the integrated system will be able to substantially relieve the
burden of having to perform separate searches by regions and site
visitation to find shooting places. Moreover, considering a poor
information infrastructure despite the fast developing domestic
motion picture industry, the integrated database established by
Seoul and Gyeonggi-do File Commissions will greatly facilitate the
process of creating motion pictures for not only domestic but also
international motion picture producers who want to shotmotion pictures
in Korea.
I hope that the Integrated DB covering Seoul metropolitan and satellite
city will be of great help to those who are involved in motion picture
and broadcasting industry and ask for your continuous interest and
support for more enhanced services.
