The 13th Jeju Women's Film Festival Section

The 13th Jeju Women's Film Festival

 

Theme : ‘Wo/man, Transcending Boundaries!’

 

 

 

Section 1. Familiar Strangeness

 

Although we live in a world where there is always going to be a gender distinction, by looking at the situation with fresh eyes, we are privy to stories of women who talk of hope and healing at points of disasters and conflicts told to us through unique movies.

 

Section 2. Hot Explosion

 

Movies seen through the perspective of situations surrounding women's physical bodies. In short, the films express an interest in women's sexual desires, health and appearance. A very interesting look at developments and maturity in girls which might have been considerably neglected compared to boys.

 

Section 3. Looking at the World through the Eyes of the Minority

 

Queer movies dealing with lesbians who are even more neglected among the gay community. Women are still being discriminated in the name of religion and traditions and required to continuously sacrifice themselves. In addition, the issue of immigrant women even in this day and age where boundaries are disintegrating are dealt with in extreme environments and youth education issues existing outside the system.

 

Section 4. This Year's Special Section

 

Films selected with special interest in women's art - Women gukgeuk, feminist revolutionary art history and experimental art conducted by housewives.
