[LA SVAIFF 2026] Co-Chair JI LIN introduces SVAIFF KOREA 2026 on the LA stage on Nov. 1… commemorative photo with Chairman SING CHANG

JI LIN, Co-Chair of the SVAIFF KOREA 2026 Organizing Committee, took the stage at 'LA SVAIFF 2026', held on Sunday, November 1 (local time) at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills, USA, and personally introduced the Korea competition, to be held in Seoul on December 17, to the local audience. At the venue's photo wall, JI LIN also posed side by side for a commemorative photo with Chairman SING CHANG, who created SVAIFF.

Presented by the U.S. organizer Star Alliance Culture Inc., the event ran from the red carpet and screenings through a keynote speech, a panel discussion and the awards ceremony. With filmmakers, investors and technology leaders gathered in one place, it was an ideal stage for promoting the Seoul competition.

On the same day, Dr. JAY HOYOUNG LEE, Advisory Committee Chair of the SVAIFF KOREA 2026 Organizing Committee, also took part in a panel discussion, as members of the Korean organizing committee promoted the Seoul competition together in LA.

Chairman SING CHANG, CEO of Star Alliance Culture, is the founder of the Silicon Valley AI Film Festival. The LA competition is a separate event run by the U.S. organizer, and the 50 winning works of the Korea competition advance to the Silicon Valley global final (the host covers the evaluation fee for the 19 prize winners; the 31 Global Final Encouragement Award winners pay their own).

Supported by Co-Chair JI LIN, SVAIFF KOREA 2026 and the Global AI IDOL Award 2026 are public-interest events with no participation fees, no paid seats and no sales, and both entry and admission are free. They will be held on Thursday, December 17 at Gabin Art Hall in Samseong-dong, Seoul, and entries are accepted from October 25 to November 25 at korea.svaiff.com.
