Sharjah’s Virtual Children Film Fest Opens With A Heartwarming South Korean Story

As we all might know, The Sharjah International Film Festival for Children and Youth (SIFF) is back! Unfortunately, with COVID still being around and taking its good time to leave, SIFF is being held virtually so all the movies and activities prepared for this edition will be available online for children to watch in the comfort of their own homes.

The SIFF kicked off its virtual edition on Sunday evening with a Middle East’s premiere of a very heartwarming South Korean film called ‘Bori’.

‘Bori’ was directed by Kim Jin-yu and narrates the story of Bori whose entire family is deaf and mute. She is the only one who can talk and hear in their silent household, so she constantly prays to go deaf, too. The film focuses on the young girl’s struggle to fit in with her own family.

This was a movie that perfectly captured what was SIFF’s mission of introducing the youth to a global understanding of how people from different cultures, religions and backgrounds live together.

To attend the virtual film festival, all you have to do is register HERE.

Enjoy your time kiddos!
