Event Description
2023 Seoul International Senior Film Festival has offered fresh insights across old age and life by asking questions not only about the elderly, but also about life and death, relationships and generations. In addition, it has established itself as an international film festival by introducing high-quality works produced in various countries and providing a forum for exchanging different concerns. With the aging of the world becoming a major issue, we want to grow as a representative film platform that contributes to broadening understanding and empathy between generations.
