Seoul Museum of History "Watch Third World Films Online"

Online Continental World Culture Film Festival Held

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] The Seoul Museum of History announced on the 22nd that it will hold an online continent-based world culture film festival screening films from the Third World as part of the 'International Diversity Film Festival.'

This film festival will be available for free online viewing until January 30 of next year. On the 20th, "Happy Lazzaro," co-produced by Italy, Switzerland, France, and Germany, which won the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes Film Festival, and "Yak in the Classroom," a 2021 Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Language Film, were screened.

Additionally, "He Did Not Want to Watch Titanic," which won the Audience Award at the 78th Venice International Film Festival, is among a carefully selected total of 25 films that will be sequentially opened and available for 24-hour viewing during the screening period.

Bangladesh's "Poem of the Sea" (2020) is being re-screened this year due to citizens' encore screening requests. The film, released in 2020, depicts the story of a sculptor who moves with a container carrying his precious works to a quiet fishing village with beautiful scenery.

Moreover, this film festival newly presents eight short films, including "Transit" (2020), which deals with various conflicts arising while a bus vendor living in a harsh urban environment waits for visa issuance for immigration, and "Mosquito Net" (2022), which tells the story of two sisters fiercely struggling to survive in a devastated world.

Detailed program information for this film festival event can be found on the Seoul Museum of History website.
