    Thank you to the festival, the jury, and everyone who supported my film. My childhood Korea was poor and wounded by war, but it was also full of courage. What gave us courage was family love and the warmth of neighbors sharing daily life together. I used AI as a new artistic tool to restore those precious traces with respect and tenderness. Thank you for seeing the humanity in this film and for sharing it with the world.

    I am beyond grateful to the Cine Paris Film Festival for awarding our short film 'Whispers of the Past' in the Best Editing category. It means the world to us to have our work recognized by such a wonderful and prestigious festival that champions independent voices in cinema. This film was a labor of love, and seeing it resonate with an audience is truly rewarding. A huge thank you to the festival organizers, the jury, and everyone who has supported us on this journey. I will certainly consider submitting my future works to this incredible festival. Thank you for everything you do!
