The 24th Gachibom Film Festival will be held for four days from the 26th to the 29th at Indiespace in Mapo-gu, Seoul.

It is a festival where people with and without disabilities come together. About thirty works that either focus on disability or involve participation by people with disabilities in their production will be screened in the Gachibom version.

The opening film is the short film Become My Ears, directed and starring actor Jang Dong-yoon. It is a work about romance and family between people with and without disabilities. The festival organizers commented, "The film stands out for its meticulousness and balanced perspective that avoids prejudice in subjects such as the deaf community and single parenthood."
