Korean Independent Animation

Presented by Yujin CHOI

AniSEED is a distribution service dedicated to independent animations operated by the Korean Independent Animation Filmmakers Association (KIAFA). AniSEED was launched in 2010 with the aim of establishing a model for the management, distribution, and archiving of animated films. Today, it is the foremost distributor of Korean independent animations. With a foundation based on KIAFA’s strong network with filmmakers and expert knowledge of independent animations, AniSEED engages in a wide range of activities from copyright protection to provide new screening opportunities.

JOUNG Yumi (Dust Kid) and JEONG Da-hee (Man on the Chair) are widely acclaimed on the international stage, but there are numerous women directors in Korea who are active in the animation field. The following programs present films that share their perspectives of the world.

‘Between’ is a program of animations in which people meet, part ways, and find each other again, expressing their recognition of one another through imagery, language, sound, and the passage of time. The person that they encounter might be another person, another version of themselves, or even another animal. Duration: 71' with introduction.
