Seoul Youth Space Mujungnyeokjidae Yangcheon to Hold Online Film Festival on the 11th of Next Month

Screening of 12 Short Films Produced by Young Directors

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Seoul Metropolitan Government's youth space Mujungryokjidae Yangcheon will hold the 4th Mujungryok Film Festival (MUFF) on the 11th of next month. The Mujungryok Film Festival is directly planned and operated by young people, and the screening works are also filled with works by young filmmakers.

The theme of this Mujungryok Film Festival is ‘Space,’ and through submissions and evaluations from April to June, a total of 12 screening works were selected. These works will be screened in three sections: ‘Looking Back,’ ‘Facing Each Other,’ and ‘Gazing.’ In addition, audience meetings (GV) and various audience events will also be held.

Moon Yoo-jin, director of Mujungryokjidae Yangcheon, said, “Due to COVID-19, young people who feel socially isolated and disconnected hope that by watching various works on the theme of ‘space,’ which means meeting and communication with others, they can feel that they are no longer alone but together.”

To prevent the spread of COVID-19 and ensure safe viewing, this year the Mujungryok Film Festival will be held online through the Mujungryokjidae Yangcheon YouTube channel, and if social distancing measures are eased later, an offline screening will be held separately.

Pre-registration will be conducted via Google Forms until the 10th of next month, and detailed information about the film festival can be found on the Mujungryokjidae Yangcheon blog.
