In Korea and Japan, there are Miryang and Fukushima. After 3.11, Fukushima has been declared as 'recovery impossible'. Miryang is still fighting against KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation) and the Korean government, even after the transmission towers have been built. The two cities have much in common. In these cities, the country does not protect the people but reigns over them. The country can destroy these cities at any moment. The country is cruel to the people who live there. But leaving is not the answer. Because home means more than a place. At this special talk, we invite professor Seo Gyeong-sik and director Park Bae-Il to seek a solution to overcome Fukushima and Miryang. Deeply concerned about the Fukushima disaster, Professor Seo has been speaking up on the issue. Director Park has closely recorded the decade of Miryang's fight against the building of 765,000 volts transmission tower, which later became a documentary film titled 'Miryang Arirang'. Moderated by Ha Seung-soo, a cochairperson of the Green Party, we will all be faced with a rather heavy question. "Is there a safe place for everyone?"

For about five months, we have provided media education and filmmaking workshop to the diasporas around the Incheon area. Different groups of diasporas (children of marriage migrants, North Korean refugees, Chinese emigrants, international students, local teenagers, etc.) each made movies out of their stories. A Chinese emigrant child that goes to Overseas Chinese Primary School and immigrant families at the Vietnamese Culture Association 'Stepping Stone' are some of the people who have participated in the filmmaking workshop. The four teams have each produced unique films; about trivial but important troubles of youth; about the process, joys and sorrows of immigration to Korea; and more.

‘‘Tabaktabak Travelog - Jung-gu’ is a new city orienteering program, a combination of orienteering and history. Orienteering is a sort of sport that requires navigational skills of using a compass and a map to reach certain destinations. By combining this race form with the history of the city, we have created a new city orienteering program where one can learn and discover the hidden stories behind the monumental features. Since the opening of the port in 1883, Incheon has been the city of immigration; historically and areally. The first Korean emigrants left from Incheon, opening the doors wide for emigrants and immigrants. Through countless dispersions, migrations, and travels, Jung-gu had been filled with diverse modern heritage and attractions. Navigate through modern architectural heritage, overseas Chinese history museum, or exotic China Town. Rediscover the identity and history of the diasporas. *'Tabaktabak' is a Korean mimetic word for 'walking ploddingly'

The 'Open Port Art Project - Fun Market on Wheels' has been a regular project of Incheon Art Platform, sponsored by Jung-gu, Incheon metroplitan city. The designated opening date is the last Saturday of each month. But for September, the market specially opens on the 5th, during the 3rd Diaspora Film Festival.

Visitors will be met with nostalgic markets on wheels, just like the days of open port. Artists and citizens of Incheon have prepared diverse art and craft workshops such as Korean paper, pressed flower, Maedup(Korean traditional knot tying art), and traditional needlework. You can also find face painters, calligraphy artists, and more. Busking performances will liven up the atmosphere.
