This paper is to find out policy implications on Busan film cluster by reviewing non-Hollywood film clusters in other countries. Busan film cluster has been led by the local government. A number of relevant studies focus on Hollywood case but it was naturally occured and, therefore, it does not seem to provide useful implications for the Busan case. Instead of Hollywood, I focus on non-Hollywood film clusters, in particular Toronto film cluster, Paulinia film cluster in Brazil, Munich film cluster in Germany, all of which were led by the government like Busan.
The case study on Toronto film cluster suggests that cost, financial incentive like Cluster Partnerships Fund, continuous supports, practical education for film talents, and social capital like diversity and openness are important in promoting film cluster.
