What Does 'Festa! Retro60: Dapsimni' Signify?
Over 3,000 Participants from 25th to 27th... Reflecting on the Meaning of Dapsimni Comprehensive Film Studio and Facilitating Intergenerational Communication through Film and Media
Dongdaemun Cultural Foundation (Chairman Ilhyung Lee) announced that the ‘Festa! Retro60: Dapsimni,’ held for three days from the 25th to the 27th at the Dapsimni Film Media Art Center, concluded successfully.
The event featured a variety of programs, including a retro screen exhibition set against the backdrop of the turn of the century and the millennium, as well as screenings of futuristic films, attracting over 3,000 participants over the three days.
This festival served as a meaningful occasion to reexamine the historical significance of the Dapsimni Comprehensive Film Studio, connecting the past, present, and future through film and media.
In particular, a special exhibition dedicated to Lee Man-hee, a master of 1960s Korean cinema, received great acclaim. Attendees included actress Lee Hyeyoung, daughter of director Lee Man-hee, film critic Jang Byungwon, and journalist Lee Hwajeong, who shared memories related to the director’s body of work and the Dapsimni Comprehensive Film Studio.
Actress Lee Hyeyoung expressed her feelings, saying, “It is very meaningful and heartwarming that the event was held at the Dapsimni Film Studio, where my father’s films 'Holiday' and 'Life' were shot.”
Additionally, the retro screen exhibition themed around the turn of the century and millennium, along with retro media experience programs recreating 1990s and 2000s culture (such as computer arcades, comic book rooms, and photo studios), were very popular among family audiences.
After the screening of the film ‘Victory,’ a cinema talk was held, featuring Baek Hai from Millennium Girls, actress Yeom Jiyoung, and Lee Anna, CEO of the film production company Annapurna, who engaged with the audience to deepen their understanding of the film.
