LIST
This festival offers a special opportunity to pause during your busy business schedule in Seoul and experience the forefront of contemporary moving-image art together with Seoul locals.
The 22nd Seoul International Experimental Film Festival (EXiS) is the only festival of its kind in Korea, where world-renowned artists gather to present avant-garde moving-image art and experimental documentaries.
This festival goes beyond simple film screenings—it serves as a platform for local Seoul artists and international creators to connect and collaborate. Through retrospectives of legendary figures such as American moving-image artist Robert Beavers, filmmaker Ana Vaz, and the prolific Emily Halpern, who has been active since the 1970s, you can witness the flow of global experimental film history right in the heart of Seoul.
With screening programs lasting only 1–2 hours, it’s easy to join even between business meetings. Post-screening GV (Guest Visit Q&A), lectures, and Asia Forums create natural opportunities to interact with Seoul locals and share perspectives through art.
