Time of Seeds
- Korean Competition
- SIEFF's Special Choice
| Trailer | |
| Program Note | As the title suggests, the film follows the life cycle of a seed, from the moment a farmer harvests it to when it sprouts, bears fruit, and is harvested again by the farmer a year later. The protagonist leading the story is not the commercial seed of seed companies, but the “native seeds” grown by farmers for many years. The agricultural system, which has changed over time with productivity and efficiency, has even accelerated the time of farmers and seeds. Rather than lamenting the extinction of rare native seeds, the film restores the value and time of slow but sincere and hardworking labor with a warm perspective. |
