Science fiction in Korean version

SAPO Notícias10 September 2026 at 09:31

South Korean cinema continues to gain ground at major international film festivals. The film "Hope", directed by Na Hong-Jin, was selected to be screened at the Cannes Film Festival, one of the most prestigious events in the global film industry.

The feature film is described as a derivation of the traditional conventions of the science fiction genre. However, critics point out that the work fails to stand out significantly, being considered an uninspired production within this genre.

The film's presence at the French festival demonstrates the continuous interest of South Korean cinema in asserting itself on the international scene, following the success of other South Korean directors who have already gained recognition at Cannes and other major showcases.

"To have more women in concertinas, there need to be fewer men who think they're the greatest"

Margarida Pereira, a 15-year-old from Vieira do Minho, participated for the first time in the concertina parade at the Feiras Novas in Ponte de Lima, being one of the few women among hundreds of players. In an interview, she said the field remains dominated by men and left a provocation: to have more women in the instrument, there need to be fewer men who think they're the greatest. The young woman started playing about three years ago, inspired by her uncle, and now practices about an hour and a half a day, saying that playing concertina is the only thing she really likes to do. Margarida said that seeing so many young people her age playing is a sign that traditions are valued and won't be lost easily.
