The journey of a stranger has long been one of storytelling's most enduring themes. ‘Cinema Picnic’ explores this timeless motif through stories of humans and beyond—stories of leaving, searching, and finding one's way. In Flow, animals set sail on a small boat to survive a devastating flood. Karin, in Ghost Cat Anzu, boards a train to Tokyo in search of her missing father. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga follows a warrior tracing a constellation map tattooed on her arm as she searches for a way home. Meanwhile, Conclave gathers cardinals from across the globe at the Vatican, where the Sistine Chapel becomes a space where diverse nationalities and languages collide—a vivid embodiment of diaspora. Through these four films, ‘Cinema Picnic’ invites you to experience the spirit of diaspora within the familiar rhythms of popular cinema—a journey as entertaining as it is reflective.
