The festival operates under official regulations established by Taegukgi – Toscana Korea Association. The organisation describes the Florence Korea Film Festival as a cultural, non-profit event dedicated to promoting South Korean cinema and culture.

Visitors should follow the admission conditions associated with their ticket, accreditation or festival pass. Some masterclasses and special events may require advance registration because places can be limited.

Recent masterclasses have reached capacity through advance registration, demonstrating that special events may close before the festival begins.
