2026 Kids Cinema, November: How We Grow Closer in Different Ways

When the film ends and the lights come up, another screening begins in the viewer’s mind. This November, Kids Cinema steps closer to that “time after the film” with Reading the Film, a talk right after the screening. Together with friends and grown-ups, we revisit the film we just watched and share our thoughts, moving from watching a film to reading it.

This year’s Kids Cinema keyword, 'community,' turns to the place closest to us: family. Bori, an eleven-year-old in Bori, is the only hearing member of her family. Surrounded by relatives who communicate in sign language, she feels lonely. Through Bori and her family, the film tells us that hearts can connect even when we do not speak the same way, and that a community is not a place where people who look alike gather, but a place where different people try to reach one another.
The screening on Wednesday, November 18 will be the Gachibom (barrier-free) version, with Korean subtitles and audio description. The narrating voice and the subtitles will serve as one more guide to reading the film. The Saturday, November 21 screening will be the standard version. In the spirit of Kids Cinema’s belief that “a good film leaves good questions behind,” we hope each viewer’s heart will grow its own questions and answers after Bori.
