The 18th Edition of mise-en-scène Short Film Festival

mise-en-scène Short Film Festival (MSFF) is one of the most prestigious short film festivals in Korea. MSFF differentiates itself from other short film festivals in that it respects short films as an individual movie genre.

The basic idea of MSFF is that short films could be as entertaining as feature films and more importantly, they are ideal for young novice directors to experiment their creativity.

Osulloc Tea Museum, which is located right off the Seogwang Tea Garden in Jeju, is the first tea museum opened in Korea by Amorepacific in September 2001 to share our tea history and culture. It is a cultural space that blends the East and the West and tradition and modernity. The tea museum and its surrounding environmentally friendly areas to rest and heal, along with tea classes that opened in 2013, made Osulloc Tea Museum into a 21st century tea museum.

Osulloc Tea Museum has a ‘Tea Cup Gallery’, which features the history and invaluable spirit of our tea culture, and ‘Tea Cups of the World’ that displays a beautiful selection of teacups from around the world. The museum also holds ‘Space for Roasted Tea’, where visitors can take a look at the entire process from roasting tea leaves harvested from the organic tea fields of Jeju to tea packaging.

Osulloc Tea Museum is a space that demonstrates Amorepacific’s beautiful devotion to revive and promote our tea culture for the past 40 years.
