Yet, his days are fulfilling, occupied by hobbies like playing the digital piano, online mahjong, and tinkering with keyboard switches. Despite his contentment with this solitary lifestyle, Ogawa has been a member of a marriage agency for the past three years. One day, through the agency's app, he receives a message from a woman named Maeda. Little by little, change begins to ripple through Ogawa's quiet life.

So Close, So Far

Zhu Yudi’s almost painfully riveting debut feature chronicles the life of a gambler—the filmmaker’s own father—as he casts his family into spiraling debt with each new “can’t fail” investment in Chinese building construction. Zhu’s documentary project holds the promise of forgiveness and reconciliation, but as his father’s estrangement from his wife and sons grows increasingly acrimonious and desperate, one is left wondering about the countless other families who have become casualties of China’s real estate bubble.

K-Family Affairs

In her first feature-length documentary, filmmaker Nam Arum turns her camera on her parents, two members of South Korea’s 386 Generation. The political activism of this generation came to a head in June 1987 with major protests that forced the authoritarian government to hold universal suffrage elections and implement key democratic reforms. Over 35 years later, the filmmaker reflects on the state of this democracy through a warm-hearted family portrait set against the backdrop of the country’s recent history. Using a personal and intimate cinematic style, Arum examines her father's adherence to conventionality as a high-ranking civil servant and her mother's fervent enthusiasm as a feminist activist. In the midst of these two contrasting dynamics, Arum seeks to discover her own role and how she can contribute to social change.

On the day of a training race, Dao is terrified when he sees a fellow rider fall from a spooked horse.

Dao wants to believe those words, but hearing adults saying that Fatih will also be raised as a jockey weighs heavily on his mind. With anxiety and hope, the boy stands in front of the starting line. How long will this race continue?
