Korea on Screen is a year-long screening series celebrating the depth and diversity of Korean cinema. This edition turns the spotlight on Korean animation, presenting one feature-length film and five short films across two days.

 

Through imaginative worlds and distinctive visual storytelling, the program explores relationships shaped by distance and separation, the boundaries that divide individuals and communities, and the fragile beliefs through which people understand themselves and one another. Moving between intimate romance, social allegory, and surreal journeys through memory and loss, these six works demonstrate the expressive range of contemporary Korean animation.

 

The program features The Square (광장), a poignant story of connection and parting set in Pyongyang, alongside five animated shorts: A Trip to the Ear (귀로의 여행), Boundaries (경계), Statue (동상), Society of Clothes (옷장 속 사람들), and Glasses (안경).
