H&D and SALT invite you to a screening of Dir. Sungeun Kim's film 'The Memory of the 25th Hour,' 2017. During a field trip to Jeju island, H&D met the film maker who generously shared the legacy of the various climate and social activisims of Gangjeong peace village against the militarization of the island since 2007. To disseminate the incredible work of the the activist community, H&D invites peers, the community of artists, designers, hackers, and activists from Seoul and around to join us in the cozy living room of SALT to watch this important film by Dir. Sungeun Kim (Grace).
We welcome donations that will go to the account of the Halmangmul community kitchen (Samgeori sikdang) where Gangjeong villager, Kim Jonghwan has been a chef for 16 years cooking meals for activists and visitors. It would be great to support them in their practice.

Logline
The film recounts the day of Gangjeong village, when the massive crackdown was operated on the protestors of anti-naval base movement at the new military housing construction site in 2015. Exploring the possibility of filmmaking as a means of active memory, this film follows the life of activism after its visible phases.
Synopsis
The film traces the memories of the villagers’ 10 year-long resistance against the naval base construction in Gangjeong village in Jeju Island, South Korea. Facing yet another police crackdown on the protestors’ encampment at the new military housing complex construction site on January 31, 2015, one of the activists said: “We’re living the 25th hour.” The sustainability of the hour becomes questioned throughout the film, as the day unfolds evoking different moments in the history of the struggle. Exploring the possibility of filmmaking as a means of active memory, this film follows the life of activism after its visible phase.
