Have You Met a Stray Cat?

PROGRAM

193 Days of Records, and a Relationship Never Quite Resolved


An alley on Hwahap-ro 71street in Nam-gu, Ulsan. Hwahap-ro 71street is a documentary that records 193 days of companionship with stray cats in that alley.

Following the screening, a talk program continues with Po-do Kim, CEO of Magazine Tak and Press Tak. It is a moment to reflect on the meaning of humans and animals living together, and to quietly ask what mature civic awareness that respects animal rights truly means.​

Korea | 2026 | 10min | Color | Documentary

GUEST

Kim Po-do

As an activist, she worked to relocate stray cats living in the Dunchon-dong redevelopment area in Seoul, and continues to feed, run TNR programs, rescue, and arrange adoptions. She also runs the publishing house PRESS TAC, releasing books that look beyond cats to the relationship between animals and humans. 

Daldalulsan

Daldalulsan is a social cooperative that began with TNR (trap-neuter-return) and rescue work for stray cats in redevelopment areas of Ulsan. It has since gone on to advocate for the enactment of stray cat protection ordinances and the introduction of public feeding station ordinances, to provide animal rights education for young people, to care for rescued animals and match them with adopters, and to build environments and raise awareness for the coexistence of people and stray cats.
