The Film Development Fund was established in 2007 to improve the quality of film arts and promote the Korean film and video industry. As a key resource operated by the Korean Film Council, the film development fund provides various projects including support for the promotion of Korean film creation and production, funding in video-specialized investment associations, export and international exchanges of Korean films, and production of small-scale or short films. This study aims to propose ways to reinvent the film development fund, which is in danger of being depleted. Based on such purpose this study examined the status and problems of the current film development fund and reviewed previous literatures and related discussions. Furthermore, the policies of similar overseas organizations for film promotion including French National Film/Video Center (Centre National du Cinema et de l'image $anim{\acute{e}}e$, CNC) and the British Film Institute (BFI) were reviewed to draw a multi-faceted way to replenish the source of revenue for Korean film development fund.
