East Asian Film and Media Studies 127: Frames in Time--Korean Cinema as History and Filmmaking
Prof. Carter Eckert | ||
This course will trace the development of Korean cinema from the 1930s to the present, approaching the subject through two alternating lenses: One focuses on cinema as depicting and reflecting historical moments and changes in Korean society, and the other focuses on the transformations of Korean filmmaking and its interactions with national, regional, and global cinemas. During the semester the course will introduce students to a diverse array of key Korean films, including North Korean cinema. Arranged both thematically and diachronically, the films will shed light on both of these perspectives and allow the course to consider how the art and technology of filmmaking in each case has been applied to enhance and explore the subject matter of the film. | ||
