The Chungbuk International Martial Arts Action Film Festival started as the only film festival in Korea under the theme of martial arts and action genres in 2019. In 2020, the slogan "The Spirit of Martial Arts, Blooms in Movies" was followed. It was a non-competitive film festival that discovered and introduced various martial action films around the world under the theme of 天(dignity and harmony), 地(peace and coexistence), 人(fulfill and consideration), the basic spirit of martial arts. Since the 3rd CIMAFF, the company has established the "Action, Indies" and "Special Competition" categories for "International Competition" (feature, short) and domestic indie action films to prepare for the leap into a partial competition international film festival with a total prize of 20 million won.
