The ATF has long been the most important exhibition for TV content in Asia.

Each year, counties such as Japan, South Korea, and Turkey are among the few

that set up large-scale pavilions to showcase their TV content, and the Taiwan

Pavilion is no exception. With the exhibition transitioned online, TAICCA has

assisted companies to create an online catalog, as well as producing online

programs to introduce the highlight of this year's lineup to international

buyers, all of which are available on the virtual Taiwan Pavilion.

TAICCA has participated in multiple international markets with online programs

that are tailored to each market and its respective audiences. This time for

the ATF, TAICCA produced a two-hour long online program that moved away from

the previous interview formats and adopted a storytelling method to introduce

11 original film and TV works from Taiwan.

adapted from the homonymous video game and movie, as well as a mini-series

focused on younger generation's debt issues, Who Killed the Good Man. Also

included are The Rootless and the PTS Original Series, The Magician on the

Skywalk, and the comic adaptation of The Summer Temple Fair. Other highlights

content movement.
