On November 13th, our Global Media and Communications Arts students organized our annual SIMA Fest, a university-wide film screening festival that featured participants from various departments showcasing their filmmaking abilities. The festival, held on campus, screened 30 films, ranging from short and long films to promotional videos and documentaries. This year's theme, "Circus," was chosen for its sense of nostalgia and its ability to provide entertainment suitable for all ages.

In addition to the film screenings, the students arranged a unique tarot reading experience, singing, and dancing performances by AIEP Club members to enhance the atmosphere. A special lecture was also delivered by Lee Hak Soo, providing valuable insights into the industry. The event concluded with the announcement of winners:
