The 21st Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival will open on October 16 and run for five days until October 20 at CGV Yongsan I’Park Mall.

Resuming after a four-year hiatus, the festival remains Korea’s only genre-based short film competition, with this year’s slogan set as “What’s Next?”.

The official poster, featuring pixel-inspired graphics and dreamlike colors, visualizes the boundless imagination of genre short films.

Designed by Moments Studio, the poster highlights the festival’s unique vision, while seven acclaimed directors will serve as executive committee members.

A newly launched official website further embodies the identity of the festival, marking the start of its full-scale preparations.
