Director Statement

In the past, folktales warned us of demons destroying forests, but now it is us humans who are causing irreparable damage to nature. Our film, Land of Demons, aims to revisit these ancient stories and use them as a catalyst for reconnecting with the natural world. Through the lens of two well-known folk tales from Korea and Iran, we aim to shed light on the wider challenges that humanity faces today.
