Future Career College Students Win at Yecheon International Smartphone Film Festival
On October 16, two teams from the Department of Practical Content Creation at the DSU Future Career College received Encouragement Awards in the ‘Yecheon on Air’ Division and the ‘Senior Division’ at the closing ceremony of the Yecheon International Smartphone Film Festival.
As one of the first international film festivals to be held under normal conditions after the COVID-19 pandemic, expectations and enthusiasm were high. For this year’s festival, an impressive array of over 700 entries from 11 overseas countries in addition to Korea were received, with 88 making it through to the finals after a preliminary screening, then, in total, 58 films receiving awards on the evening. Both the opening ceremony on October 15 and the closing ceremony were attended by many distinguished, congratulatory guests and local institutions and residents.
When the curtain rose for the opening film, those guests included: Kim Hakdong, Yechon County Mayor; Choi Byeong-wook, Army Chief; and Kim Sang-cheol, Gyeongbuk Province Culture, Tourism, and Sports Director. Dongseo University students’ winning work in the Yechon on Air category, Yonggung Company: Special Business Trip of the Star Housewives, directed by Gu Su-jeong, captures the beauty of Yecheon and plays on the characteristics of its place name.
In addition, the performances of the undergraduate students involved and the beauty of Yecheon captured by their smartphones are a pleasure to watch. Meanwhile, the winning work in the Senior Division, Escape of Glory, directed by Im Gi-shik, is a work that philosophically unravels the process of the metamorphosis of insects, set against the backdrop of the Yecheon Insect Ecology Garden.
In particular, the part that expresses the changes of both insects and humans makes you think deeply about the concept and meaning of ‘escape’ after watching the movie. The Department of Practical Content Creation was established in 2022, and provides a valuable experience of a synergy of learning and practicing. This is the second occasion on which students from the department have received awards at the Yecheon International Smart Phone Film Festival, the first being for the entry 2022 Refugee Sudo Supporting Busan Heritage at the 4th festival. Both that and this year’s award-winning entries can be viewed on the Yecheon International Smartphone Film Festival’s YouTube channel
