The images used in a poster of the 16th DMZ International Documentary Film Festival are scenes from 9 documentary films. The alphabets, D, M, and Z, convey the message of the slogan, ¡°Action for Friendship and Solidarity¡± for the 16th film festival. It expresses the intention of going against the wars and crimes and promoting the restoration of relationship between human and non-human and destroyed nature.
The logo frame of D,M, and Z also uses the original colors of the 16th film festival¡¯s 9 films without correcting the colors. The frame is designed with a round form symbolizing friendship, a connected form expressing solidarity, and a sharp form indicating action. The layout of DMZ logo also gradually expands and rises by reflecting how the influence of friendship, solidarity, and action gradually expands.

The poster of the 16th International Documentary Film Festival consists of scenes from the screening films. These scenes from the films vividly capture reality and deliver the message of ¡°Action for Friendship and Solidarity¡± as a slogan for this year¡¯s film festival. The scenes are arranged side by side and mixed with each other to show and emphasize the intention of the film festival naturally. The scenes displayed on a paper also arouse imagination of relationship with each other.
The graphic identity of the film festival is expressed by designing the film festival¡¯s main alphabets, D,M, and Z in the round-form-connected form-sharp and rising form that remind of meanings of three words, friendship-solidarity-action, consisting the slogan.
