The 2021 TCCF encompassed The Market, The Forum, The Expo, and two side events, NEXT Academy and Garden Mingle - Field Practice.
The NEXT Academy exhibition explores the relationship between humans and the digital world from the demonstration of technology innovation in the content industry to the discovery of the “new living code.” The seven projects showcased range from animation, film, movies, music, immersive theater, and photogrammetry. Each is supported by the Cultural Content and Technology Application Flagship Program, which intends to help the creative content industry upgrade its working methods through technological applications.
