Event Cat brings global directors and audiences together with AI simultaneous interpretation subtitles
In December 2024, Busan International Artificial Intelligence Film Festival (BIAIF) was first held at Busan Film Center as an innovative event combining AI technology and film art. This film festival, which took its first steps this year, received a lot of attention from inside and outside the film industry because it tried a new film festival that combines artificial intelligence and film, and 2,700 viewers participated and had a special time to experience firsthand the encounter between AI technology and film art. While many foreign directors, international film festivals, and members of the National Film Commission also participated, XL8 (XL8)'s real-time multilingual interpretation solution EventCat (EventCat) played an important role in connecting the stage and audience.
Eventcat helped participants communicate freely without language barriers by providing real-time translated subtitles in the desired language for various side events such as the opening ceremony, closing ceremony, and conversation with the audience (GV). Domestic and international audiences, directors, and people involved in the film festival were able to select subtitles in the desired language and view them in real time not only on the large screen in the venue but also on their personal mobile phones, so they were able to experience more convenient translation and further enhance their understanding of the film and participation in the film festival.
Connect in-depth conversations between the director and audience with real-time interpretation subtitles
At this film festival, Eventcat provided real-time interpretation subtitles on tablets and large screens in conversations with the audience conducted by moderators and panelists in different languages (Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese, etc.). Through this, the audience was able to communicate more closely with the festival's works, directors, and panelists without language barriers, and contributed to enabling richer film interpretations.
Lee Hee-joo, manager of Busan Film Center, expressed his satisfaction with introducing EventCat's real-time interpretation and subtitling solution at the international film festival, saying, “The moderator was able to perform so naturally that the interpretation was so natural that the audience was very satisfied,” and “the global film festival was able to run more smoothly thanks to EventCat, which provided excellent translation quality at the opening and closing ceremonies.”
From international film festivals to corporate events, EventCat's proven translation solutions
The innovative translation solution provided by Eventcat at the Busan International Artificial Intelligence Film Festival, which is leading the fusion of AI technology and movies, broke down language barriers and enabled more people to access AI films and technology.

Going forward, Eventcat will continue to provide more advanced AI interpretation solutions at global events and conferences, and continue to innovate beyond the limits of language.
