DESCRIPTION:Bay Area Screening of 2 Korean films and Discussion\n*Korean with English 
 subtitles\n\nWe Are Not Wallpaper 2024 (20 min) \nDirected by Homeless 
 Action Activist “Carrot”\nBeyond the big-budget productions Parasite 
 and Squid Game depicting the violent wealth disparity in capitalist Korean 
 society lies the contemporary grassroots anti-poverty movement that has 
 worked for over 20 years to build community and create a better life for 
 those on the margins.\nOne of the most sustainable projects to emerge from 
 the movement is civic group Homeless Action’s School for the Homeless, 
 located near Seoul Station, the “home” of Korea’s most visible street 
 homeless population. A diverse group of volunteer teachers work with adults 
 who are or have been considered homeless - those living on the streets, in 
 flophouses, tiny rooms, shelters, and otherwise housing insecure.\nDuring 
 and after the April 10, 2024 general election, the “Forest of Rights” 
 class made the documentary We Are Not Wallpaper, contrasting the election 
 campaigns with the fight for public housing and an end to discrimination 
 against the homeless community.\nSouth Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol’s 
 recent martial law declaration has brought millions of people to the 
 streets in sustained protests. Against this backdrop, we hope our film can 
 be part of a larger international dialogue on solidarity and mutual aid in 
 the face of our common struggles.\n\nSpring Wind Project: We are Here 2022 
 (68 min Cut) \nOmnibus shorts by 21 media activists\nA 40-day pilgrimage 
 interviewing the people acting at sites of struggle across the country, 
 including residents suffering from nuclear power plants and power 
 transmission towers, part-time workers forced to make sacrifices at their 
 workplace, people excluded through hatred and elimination, people with 
 experiences of repeated disasters in Korean society, people who oppose 
 military bases and war weapons. The pilgrims and their companions embrace 
 each other for a different world.   - DMZ International Documentary Film
