When I came across this year’s slogan, “Laugh Matters,” my experience of laughing for the sake of others’ views or expectations as a woman flashed back. How can I laugh freely from others’ expectations or social pressure? When have I laughed like that? Sitting down with people I felt safe with and chatting casually, came to my mind.
I designed the poster graphic with remembering those moments and the expectation that they will happen more often in the future. I intentionally express situations or people not as specific as possible to allow for a wide range of imagination. Through this film festival, I hope for more times where people can talk in a comfortable and safe environment and share more laughter in their own shapes. (JUNG Yumi)
