Main Slogan
“New Challenges for Korean Cinema”
The Seoul Independent Film Festival, as a venue to support independent films which expand the potential of Korean cinema, selects its main slogan, ‘New Challenges for Korean Cinema.’ This was also the initial slogan that in 1999, the Korean Film Council and the Association of Korean Independent Film & Video chose together with the aim of the festival’s willingness to change, which is still effective. Independent films are expanding their future through various practices and aesthetic experiments, after they went through high tensions of Korean film movements. Along with the Seoul Independent Film Festival, new challenges for Korean films continue today.
SIFF2024 Slogan
50 to Infinity
It is both joyful and astounding that this festival of independent films has continued for 50 years.
The world of independent cinema, has expanded gradually with each passing year,
from those who explore unknown sensations
from those who observe the temperature of emotions
from those who remember the lyricism of moments
from those who hold onto the present each other
has come together, differently, yet closely, to reach where we are today.
In the infinite future that awaits beyond Seoul Independent Film Festival’s 50th anniversary,
‘∞’ (symbol for infinity) anticipates sprouting visualization of the unconscious, by infinite possibilities of films unbound by form,
5 and 0 representing the 50 years, Korean characters “o” and “gong”, English words “five” and “zero”,
“50 to Infinity”, slogan for Seoul Independent Film Festival 2024, with its expandable text,
represents not merely half of 100, but something beyond, something that anyone can dream of,
but something that cannot be declared as of yet.
Once again, please join us with infinite expectations and support for the next steps of Seoul Independent Film Festival, which stand for the new challenges of Korean cinema. We hope to discover together where our spreaded wings will take us, when we break away from gravity into the infinite future that awaits us.
