The Power of Time
Time is the most powerful force in the world. It hones a skill into mastery, freezes arrogance in its tracks, melts even the brightest brilliance, and heals the deepest wounds. Time is what makes us believe — and yet, its cruelty can leave us defenseless. As time watches over generations, we are left in awe, yearning to both embrace it and lean on it. This curated selection of films begins with the power of time — bidding farewell to what’s lost in the past, while searching for what lies ahead. Sometimes, we are trapped within fleeting seconds; other times, we gaze across a thousand-year flood of history, unsure where we’re headed. This is, above all, a list that moved my heart. I hope these stories through time stir something in you too — or even spark a question: What might a lifetime truly taste like?

Encore, Before the Goodbye
"My Bucket List" holds no grand dreams, only 100 little things yet undone, and a "see you tomorrow" that was never properly spoken. The same goes for "Encore: Before Saying Goodbye"—here, eternity is left unmentioned; there is only the desire to perform one last song for oneself before the lights go down. The scars of youth, the terror at the edge of the boxing ring, the wordless closeness between strangers, and the farewells quietly practiced in daily life—six films, each rehearsing the very same question: If only an encore remains, what sound do you wish to leave behind?
