SISFF Movie Speech Program : As Time Passed, the Story Unfolded

Times change, and the world moves on but the power of storytelling remains. A beloved section of SISFF, this special program evokes childhood memories for many older viewers. This year’s screening features Crossroads of Youth (1934), directed by Ahn Jong-hwa, a film that captures the passion, conflict, love, and loss of youth. The screening will be accompa-nied by a live performance from a byeon sa, a traditional film narrator who brings silent cinema to life with expressive, often humorous commentary. The magical combination of vintage film and live narration offers a rare opportunity to experience cinema infused with nostalgia.
