Between red carpet flashlights and high society vibes, 35°C heat, fancy venues, ceremonies, dinners and people dancing in front of the raw industrial look of our immersive exhibition - I’m honestly a bit relieved »Silent Disco« finally had its world premiere at BIFAN in Bucheon.
After our industry preview in Paris, this marks the first official stop on the international festival circuit and I can finally let it go
It’s been an intense and inspiring trip: so many exciting projects, both immersive and cinematic, often tackling topics that barely get space in Western media. Even more reason to value the new perspectives and conversations that happened here.
Huge thanks to the wonderful people at BIFAN who made this possible - it was great to meet you all:
• 박보람 (Boram Park) for curating our project
• Sol Yun for organizing the exhibition
• 김민주 (Minjoo Kim), Sofie, and Bora 유한주 for taking care of everything on-site
• Kyungmin for the smooth travel coordination
• 박가은 (Park Gaeun ‚Alexy Park‘) for the amazing support and local tips
• and of course all the volunteers who brought the festival to life.
And as always: a massive shoutout to my fantastic Silent Disco team. None of this would’ve happened without you. Thank you for your dedication, patience, and passion!
