Building Your Festival Page — Manager Guide

1Getting started — My Film Fest

Sign in and go to My page → My Film Fest. Only festivals you've been assigned to appear here. You can't create a festival yourself — MovieBloc sets it up and assigns you as manager. If the list is empty, you haven't been assigned yet, so please get in touch.

Each row tells you what to do next in a single line, and the buttons change with the status.

2Picking a template

This decides how your films are laid out. You can change it later — but if the card shape changes, you may need to prepare different images.

3Filling in the basics

Add your festival's name, intro and poster. Korean and English are required before you can publish; Chinese, Japanese and Spanish are optional. Leave an optional language empty and the Korean text is shown instead.

4Designing the page

The editor has three parts: blocks on the left, a live preview in the middle, and the editing panel on the right. Pick a block on the left and edit its contents on the right. The middle shows exactly what the audience will see, updating as you type.

There are four blocks

Banner images

• Desktop banner 960 × 400 — required
• Mobile banner 402 × 452 — if you skip it, the desktop image is center-cropped
• Cover is the dark layer over the banner. If a bright banner buries the text, raise the level

5Sections (tabs) and categories

If you have a lot of films, or they fall into distinct groups, use tabs. To split things further inside a tab, use categories. Neither one is required.

• Tab — a row above the film list (Competition, Invited, Special)
• Category — subheadings inside the list (Features, Shorts)

In the Films block of the editor, click Edit tabs & categories to open the window below.

Each tab can have its own banner

Many festivals use a different poster per section. Select a tab, click Banner, and upload one — while that tab is open, this banner takes the hero's place at the top.

• Tabs without a banner keep showing the original hero banner
• Show the festival name, dates and intro over this banner too — turn it off to show the image alone. If the banner already has a title drawn on it, turn this off so the text doesn't collide. Turning it off also removes the dark cover
• Background colour fills the space beside the image

Each tab can have its own trailer

Click Upload on a tab row to add a trailer, and it plays before the feature for films in that tab. Trailers can only be uploaded after the tab is saved — before that you'll see “Save first, then upload”.

6Adding films

Click ＋ Add a film in the Films block (or the ＋ in an empty slot). There are two ways.

Uploading a new film

Three steps: 1 · File → 2 · Information → 3 · Done

What you need to provide

What you can do with an added film

Hover over a film card to see its buttons.

7Checks and requesting publication

Anything missing shows under Checks at the bottom left of the editor. Once it's all cleared you'll see Ready to publish, and the Request publishing button becomes available.

What usually comes up

• No EN festival name / No EN description — English is required
• No poster — it's used in festival lists, search results and share cards
• No films added — you can't publish without at least one film
• No hero banner

Once you request publishing, the status becomes Awaiting approval, and MovieBloc publishes it after review.

8After it goes live

You can still check the real page any time with Go to Film Festival.

9When several people manage one festival

A festival can have more than one manager. If two people edit at the same time, whoever saves last can overwrite the other's work — so we tell you before you go in.

• Wait if you can. The lock clears once the other person saves and leaves
• If it's urgent, go in with Edit anyway. If saving then conflicts, the screen asks you again before overwriting
• The lock clears by itself after a few minutes — nobody stays blocked because someone left a window open
