Seoul International ALT Cinema & Media Festival (NeMaf) defines itself thusly: First, we are here to be with people who can actively enjoy and appreciate new media. Second, we believe everyone has the potential to become an artist who can play through new media. Third, we dream of a world that can respect every individual characteristic and taste. Fourth, we aim at diversity in the art rather than standardization of art. Fifth, we attempt to change the world full of prejudice and discrimination into a world full of respect.

NeMaf has since been destorying the boundaries between video and art with creative energy and passion. It is dedicated to introducing new media art works that offer new imaginations and new uses for art and media, aiming to discover artists with potential and support them with the belief that everyone can be a new media artist. The festival is highly interactive, encouraging communication between artists and audiences. As a festival which has been developing and producing new genres of film and art, it has previously explored media genres such as media symphony (rhythm and image), image poem (prose accompanied by a mental picture), visual performance, digital media art, video activism, video diaries, and B-grade kitsch cinema.
