[Short films]

New Choice is the section that screens the films which offer us a new cinematic experience or a new film watching opportunity. This year, New Choice consists of twelve films that show new attempts to the extent that it is ambiguous to clarify their genres and that approach with a different point of view from the established perspective in terms of social reflection. When filmmaking and film watching share time and space, a relationship occurs there. All 12 films await the time to meet with the audience and sprout a new relationship that transcends inside and outside the screen.

[Feature films]

A total of seven feature films are selected for New Choice of the SIFF 2021. No Surprise depicts a sudden reunion of three college friends who majored in film. Not One and Not Two tries to find out what can be a film. Survival Tactics tries to describe life differently with a survival technique. Life of Hae-oak reveals the body that ejects the excessive desires and pressure of others. The train passed by makes its only best way to collect the factory worker Heesu’s traces. Boundary: Flaming Feminist Action is a letter of affectionate support and solidarity to director’s beloved colleagues. In Small Bird and Mr. Pig, the director carefully describes her mother and father with strong affection.
