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.

“I’m going to keep going for as long as I can.” Up the winding roads of Ibagu-gil, Busan, there is a store called Woori Stationery. It’s been standing in front of Choryang Elementary School for over 20 years. The tiny store is where children take shelter and play in bad weather, where working parents can leave their child, where older ladies in the neighborhood gather together for a chit-chat, and where early risers get a drink or two before going to work. As always, the elderly owner keep the store doors wide open on the pretext that she needs to earn some extra income, and welcomes her neighbors.
