The 4th Asiana International Short Film Festival provides a new guarantee production project to support and incubate Korean short filmmakers.
With AISFF Fund Project, AISFF aims to inspire and incite talented Korean Short filmmakers to make a new project and find out a new channel for alternative short film, covering from production to screening and distribution. Five million won plus the necessary materials for production and post-production will be guaranteed to the selected film and the completed film will get an opportunity to be the opening film of AISFF2006 and will be screened at the international flights of the Asiana Airlines.
 
After the festival on the ground, AISFF screens the award-winning films up in the sky at the In-Flight of the Asiana international Airlines. With this In-Flight film festival, the award-winning films are introduced to around 3 million international passengers of the Asiana Airlines. AISFF will then provide a great opportunity to short filmmakers as an alternative arena going beyond their local and national boundaries, for greater international audience awareness. 'AISFF_in the Air', the official title of the AISFF In-Flight film festival, will screen the award winning films during the fist half of the year, each film for maximum 30 days a month.

From the year of 2005, AISFF prepares "5 minutes in the Air", a section with the selected shorts within five minutes from the international competition and makes a special event for ballots from Asiana's passengers for a week. The 1st placed short from the ballots will be nominated as a
"5 minutes in the Air" award at the closing ceremony of the festival.

AISFF has been touring with its awarded and selected shorts in international film festivals and cultural events all around the world. This aims to make worldwide networks with film festivals, film schools and other film related organizations. AISFF shorts will then communicate with broaden audience beyond the national and local boundaries.

AISFF indeed has been presenting the selected Korean shorts to other festivals and cities in order to encourage Korean short film market and introduce the potentials and reserved force of Korean culture through the window of film. For the year of 2005, AISFF has hold touring in China, Germany, and France with AISFF's previous award winning films and Korean shorts selected from international competition of AISFF.
