From the Mountain (2026)

From the misty peaks of Busan’s Bongraesan Mountain to the dense, whispering woodlands of Łódź, Poland, this film journeys across two worlds to uncover a shared, ancient reverence for the wild. Guided by the enduring presence of Korea’s Mountain Spirit, Sanshin, and the enigmatic Leshy of Slavic folklore, the lens lingers on vast, unpeopled terrains—where every rustling leaf and silent ridge speaks of a forgotten dialogue. Through these patient, meditative frames, the movie gently unearths the unseen threads that still tether humanity to the earth, revealing a quiet, unbroken kinship that transcends borders and time.
