Synopsis

This consideration of modernity and the sublime, features magnificent images of Korea's industrialisation, steel mills and shipyards in the seafaring city of Ulsan, with equally redolent scenes of ancient whales and mystical ritual woven together in a haunting story of failed love and conviction.

All SAF events are free and open to the public.
