With Yasmin's first time with the camera, the clips that are out-of-focus are expressed as dancing and shaking. As such, Map without Island warmly fights in front of the hate and exclusion that remain on this land. Before leaving Jeju Island, Yasmin leaves a video to say goodbye to the director, which becomes the opening scene of the film. Farewell may mean the end, but it can also create another beginning. Map without Island tells the story with a gesture of silent trust and unravels it. Unraveling is not just an unconditional solution, but remembering, honoring, shouting, dancing, singing, adding cute stickers to the land you want to protect, and drawing beautiful paintings on high and hard walls, and different colored paints meeting in one point on the floor to form various colors. And staring at itself. With that alone, it sends a warm gaze that we can fight to the best of our ability. It is the way we look at ourselves in front of what we can do together, even if we need answers. It can also weave a non-linear, infinite world at once. The will to go to a place where we would like to live, not just live because we were born. This film has always supported those rights and hearts. [LEE Somyi]
