ROOTS: Best of ROOTS in Motion

Your favorites are back on the big screen.

Throughout the year, three editions of ROOTS in Motion have celebrated the work of local filmmakers, giving them a stage beyond the festival itself. At each edition, audiences voted for their favorite films—and now, the top three are back for a special screening at the ROOTS Film Festival. Join us to rediscover these crowd favorites and see why they captured the hearts of viewers.

This slot consists of the following films:

Memories of What Never Was (Laura Flethe): Following the search for the missing memories of a lost father, who passed away twenty years ago, »memories of what never was« blurs reality and fiction in an exploration of grief, memory and imagination. Can we create new memories with lost ones?

Wayang (Ross Walker): Wayang tells the story of an Indo family, spanning three generations, as they struggle with the effects of loss and uprooting. After fleeing Indonesia, they try to find their place in the Netherlands, caught between two worlds. The wayang puppet play becomes a powerful symbol of connection, memory, and healing.

Noise: Unwanted Sound (Hyejin Jung): After experiencing hearing loss and strange internal sounds, she meets Somchai at the hospital, sharing similar symptoms. Through conversations about noises in their bodies, she explores the boundary between “sound” and “noise,” interpreting her condition within Korean society’s context.

Make sure to stick around after the screening to cast your vote for the ROOTS Audience Award!
