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.
