Moon Seungsung brings analogue film, live music and Korean food to London’s Livesey Exchange

<p>The event, <a href="https://lu.ma/ywpicyar">La Sobremesa presents: on the way to jip</a>, presented by <strong>La Sobremesa by MO CONNECTS</strong>, embraces the Spanish concept of lingering at the table after a meal to talk, share and reflect, bringing together art, music, philosophy, food and people in unique spaces.</p>

<p>Audiences will experience two of Moon’s most personal works, <em>Miyeok-guk</em> and <em>on the way to jip</em>, which piece together moments of connection with her parents, her language and the places she once left behind. Using Super 8, 16mm and hand-processed 35mm, her films speak in texture and feeling rather than exposition, incorporating materials such as seaweed from Plymouth Hoe to connect process and memory.</p> <p>The screening will also feature <em>over land flow</em> by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/trumfilm/">Matt Trumfield</a>, a fellow 2025 <a href="https://www.aup.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/ba-hons-film-screen-arts">BA (Hons) Film &amp; Screen Arts</a> graduate. Shot entirely on 16mm, his film traces the movement of water, its rhythms, silences and life, as a meditation on change and connection.</p>

<p>Live music will be led by South Korean composer, pianist and arranger <a href="https://soheebaekcomposer.com/">Sohee Baek</a>, whose original score shaped <em>on the way to jip</em>. Currently completing her Master’s in electronic music at Guildhall School of Music &amp; Drama, Sohee blends traditional Korean rhythms (<em>jangdan</em>) and breath with contemporary instrumentation, creating spaces where sound becomes memory. She has performed at venues including Somerset House, the Courtauld Gallery and Barbican Cinema.</p> <p>Performers include:</p><ul><li><strong>Lauren Peck</strong> – <a href="https://www.instagram.com/laurenpeckmusic/">saxophonist</a></li><li><strong>Euan Su</strong> – <a href="https://www.instagram.com/echuraaa/">violinist and composer/producer</a> (alias <em>ECHURA</em>), specialising in animation, games and media composition</li><li><strong>Seungyeon Lee</strong> – <a href="https://www.instagram.com/__seungyeonlee/">guitarist</a></li><li><strong>Kangsan Lee</strong> – <a href="https://linktr.ee/leekangsan">traditional Korean percussionist</a>, with credits including the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics closing ceremony with EXO, Gucci GAOK and Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture</li></ul> <p>All tickets include a drink and Korean-inspired snacks, and the evening will conclude with a Q&amp;A with Moon.</p>
