Screening Films:

1. "Back to the Wild" (2018), Veronia Iocono

We share our planet with over 2 million species, but upto two thousand become extinct every year. What if we could turn back the clock for one of them? Back to the Wild explores this question, tracing the journey of Nya and her fellow Scimitar-horned Oryx as they travel from Abu Dhabi and return home.

2. "Where Mermaids Go" (2015), KIM Tae-yong

One day Eu-jin urgently goes to Jeju Island with his son, Min-ho, after she receives a phone call that her mother has been missing in the sea.

Since her mother is a woman diver, her mother’s house on the Island is still filled with the signs of her sea life in every corner but Eu-jin never hears from her mother all night long. In the early morning, Eu-jin finds out that there is a big wild bear in the yard and the bear comes close to her, saying that she is her mother. As her son Min-ho calls the bear “Grandma”, Eu-jin gets dumbfounded and then the special day of three people, which is dreamlike, begins.
