This year, the program has strengthened its curriculum in cutting-edge film technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual production. The target participants include early-career filmmakers with less than one year of experience and industry professionals who have credits on released films. More than thirty-six instructors, including directors, producers, cinematographers, and AI experts, will lead the classes.

The training program will be offered in three tracks: regular, specialized, and special courses. The regular course provides step-by-step training for each role, such as planning, directing, cinematography, and art. The specialized track covers AI short film production, strategies for international co-productions, and eco-friendly film production. This track will be held from July to October for regional filmmakers.
