MY FATHER'S SCENT
Director: Mohamed Siam
A tense, poetic odyssey unfolds over one night as a father and son confront each other, aiming to settle old scores. Confined to a single apartment, their raw, emotional confrontation quickly escalates, peeling back layers of a fraught relationship. This gripping family drama forces a poignant reflection: if granted one final night with a lost loved one, would you seek vengeance or reconciliation? With powerful performances, the film is a sensitive, intimate and profound exploration of the complex, enduring bond between father and son.
TWO SEASONS, TWO STRANGERS
Director: Sho Miyake
Adapted from Yoshiharu Tsuge’s manga short stories from the 1960s, Two Seasons, Two Strangers follows Li (Shim Eun-kyung), a creatively blocked Korean screenwriter adrift in Japan. As she imagines a bittersweet seaside tale of two lonely youths crossing paths, a film-within-a-film unfolds onscreen and we realise her own emotional journey is mirroring theirs. Months later, in a snowy mountain village, Li finds connection with a solitary innkeeper, and slowly reclaims her voice, rediscovering purpose and the beauty of the understated. Filmmaker Sho Miyake distills transformation into its quietest form, where meaning clings to the ordinary and unravels in near-silence. The film explores relationships born of chance — not romance or friendship, but something softer, stranger and just as essential.
