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.
