2022 Seoul International Senior Film festival presents the SISFF Korean Competition of 6 sections. This competition presents films that build solidarity and listen to the essence of oneself and the community rather than the outdoor temperature in times when everyone’s movement is restricted. The films deal with a new family type that changes the meaning of the roof; the views we easily miss or dismiss; language for self-expression and non-linguistic expressions for communication; diverse sincere attitudes toward life; people who have finally arrived at the time to be wise; and the letter to the closest community. The twenty-seven films in the SISFF Korean Competition will provide a remarkable opportunity to transform a difficult yesterday into a better tomorrow.

“She is the White Horse. Born in 1930, unborn in 1990, and born again in 2050. She returns, undead, every 60 years.”

The film revolves around Jeon’s struggle to embody the White Horse, a Chinese zodiac sign which occurs every 60-year cycle in South Korea. With the abortion debate’s entanglement with misogynic myths and the introduction of modern technologies, an untold history resurfaces in the present, and re-orients us towards the future. Korean and future perfect tense in English, are weaved together to contemplate ruptures, repetition of time, and violence against women.
