As of November, the market share for Korean films in the domestic market stood at 55 percent, which indicates that the yearly market share of Korean films will be over 50 percent for the third year in a row. In the international arena as well, Korean films were invited to major international film festivals including Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Locarno, and San Sebastian and received a warm reception from critics and audiences. It is often said that the current prosperity of Korean cinema is due to the strong commitment and policies introduced by the KIM Dae-joong government in 1999 to promote Korean films. The government founded the Film Promotion Fund and launched the newly re-structured Korean Film Council, and henceforth the Korean Film Council has carried out film promotion policies. 4 Most of all, however, the seven-year history of Korean films from 1999 to 2005 matches the publication history of Korean Cinema. Throughout these seven years, Korean Cinema each year has collected information about all Korean films produced and/or released in that year, including features, animation, independent works, short films, and documentaries. Korean Cinema actively volunteered to take responsibility for delivering the most comprehensive and objective information on each film, as well as on the whole of Korean cinema to the international film community, and it is certain that it has made a difference in the international status of Korean films. In the future as well, Korean Cinema will continue to take the role of the core gateway leading to Korean films. December 2005 Cheongsook AN Chairperson Korean Film Council 5 A Review of Korean Cinema in 2005 1. Humanism The films released in 2005 delivered the humanism which Korean moviegoers had long yearned for. Amongst these films, <Marathon>, a film directed by Jeong Yun-cheol that created its own new sub-genre, the human drama, emerged as the front runner. This film, which tells the story of a young man with autism, who with the help of his mother and a coach, begins to train for a marathon, attracted 5 million moviegoers nationwide despite the fact that it did not showcase a dramatic story or spectacular scenes. The film <Marathon> does not criticize the reality which the disabled have to face, nor focus on the arduous path which disabled persons must take to overcome their limitations. Rather, the film describes how a child with autism grows mentally, becomes independent, and learns to communicate with other people. Audiences openly accepted the main character’s heartfelt efforts, and were impressed by the film’s depiction of the insignificant events which make up the reality of our daily lives. The success of <Welcome to Dongmakgol>, which finished on top of the box office (8 million admissions) in 2005, seems to have been based on similar circumstances. On the surface, <Welcome to Dongmakgol> appears to have all the attributes of a blockbuster. However, this is a film which is at its core a human story. The film tells the story of a group consisting of South Korean deserters, North Korean soldiers retreating from the front, and a member of the U.S. armed forces who survived a plane crash, that must live together in a small village in Gangwon Province. The North and South Korean soldiers soon become impressed with the pure hearts of the village people and decide to find a way to coexist. In this remote location, the soldiers are finally able to remove the ideological shackles which have long forced them to suppress their own opinions, and to see each other as human beings. These North and South Korean soldiers who are liberated from the dark ideology of hatred come to regard each other as brothers, and the U.S. soldier as an equal. In addition to <Welcome to Dongmakgol> and <Marathon>, which finished first and second respectively at the box office in 2005, there were also other films emphasizing a human aspect that fared well with audiences. Although <You Are My Sunshine> directed by Park Jin-pyo has been classified as a melodrama, the love affair depicted in this film is based on the notion of humanism. AIDS is the barrier which exists between the film’s two main characters: a farmer and a sex worker from the local coffee shop. Under the harsh reality of Korean society, in which a patient with AIDS is branded in a manner akin to the "scarlet letter", the only way for these lovers 6 to consummate their relationship is for them to first see each other as human beings. Humanism can be defined as the unconditional love which one person feels for another, and as a love which transcends social norms and external appearances. The unexpected success of <Mapado: Island of Fortunes> can also be understood as having been based on a similar foundation. A woman who runs away with a lottery ticket and the gangsters who run after her arrive on a remote island known as Mapado. Although the gangsters must endure all kinds of difficulties on this island populated only by five old widows, they are eventually overcome by the humanity possessed by the five widows. This film, despite being a comedy, has all the elements of a human drama. Other films which can obviously be listed in the human drama category include <Crying Fist>, the story of two men who try to secure a better life for themselves through boxing, <Little Brother> which is about a boy and his older brother who has cancer, <Long and Winding Road> which tells the story of a mother who walks hundreds of kilometers to attend her daughter’s wedding, and <My Wedding Campaign> in which two men in rural Korea fly to Uzbekistan in order to secure ethnic Korean brides for themselves. Certain common themes can be found in these human dramas. With the exception of <Mapado: Island of Fortunes> and <Welcome to Dongmakgol>, these films were based on real stories. These real-life stories are different from those found in <Silmido> and <Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War>, two films which shattered box office records in 2004 and which were based on historical facts. While the "historically authentic films" released in 2004 simultaneously exposed two tendencies, namely the desire for spectacular scenes and a return to the past, the real-life films released in 2005 are characterized by their focus on the reality of individual lives. The fact that this individual reality has replaced the desire for spectacle which had been dominant over the last few years proves that Korean cinema has now entered a phase in which the focus will increasingly be on the telling of more authentic and individual stories. This trend is also visible in fictional blockbusters such as <Welcome to Dongmakgol>. The fact that humanism has proven to be a popular topic does not mean that the range of realism has been extended. Nevertheless, the emergence of new themes and materials constitutes a significant development, in that, it marks a new departure for a Korean film industry which had long dealt with the same topics. Furthermore, these films attracted not only moviegoers in their teens and 20s, but also appealed to audiences over the age of 30. As such, human dramas have to some degree contributed to expanding the range of moviegoers in 2005. 2. Hallyu The Hallyu - Korean Wave- phenomenon, which has been gaining steam across Asia, emerged as one of the most influential variables for Korean cinema in 2005. The film which best characterized the Hallyu craze was Hur Jin-ho’s <April Snow>. Due in large part to the fact that it starred Bae Yong-joon -- whose popularity with female fans in Japan, where he is known as 7 Yonsama, has reached epic proportions -- this film was presold for an estimated 7 million dollars in Japan, and did rather well at the box office there as well. <April Snow>, which revolves around a love affair between two people in their 30s, marked director Hur Jin-ho’s first foray into this particular genre. However, this personal milestone was overshadowed by the presence of Bae Yong-joon as the film’s main star. While it fared rather poorly at the box office in Korea, <April Snow> was able to finish in the black on the balance sheet due to strong overseas sales in places such as Japan. Kim Jee-woon’s <A Bittersweet Life> featuring another top star, in this case Lee Byung-heon, is another example of this phenomenon.

  • What Are You So Scared About?: Understanding the False
    What Are You So Scared About?: Understanding the False Fear Response to Horror Films Sarah Seyler HSS 490-01H Faculty Director: Dr. Jeffrey Adams April 22nd, 2019 1 When a horror movie delivers a scare to an audience member, it is able to achieve something that is entirely illogical; it has made someone scared of something that poses no threat. So what is the logic behind a horror film? What aspects make a horror movie, something that can pose no physical threat, scary? In order to solve this question, many different aspects of filmmaking in horror will be looked at, including filmmaking techniques, psychological manipulation through storytelling, and the exploration of certain cultural elements in horror films that contextualize the fears a society has. By analyzing the different aspects of horror, we can understand how and why a movie is able to override the rational side of a viewer’s brain and make them scared. We can then understand why these aspects cause the body to have a physical reaction to the false threat, and why some people respond more intensely to horror than others. The goal of any movie is to elicit some sort of emotional response in the audience observing the film, and this is no different for horror movies. However, instead of a joy or sadness response, the horror movie aims to cause an observer to feel some sort of fear -- whether that be an immediate physical fear or longer-lasting psychological distress. Scaring people may sound simple, however it is actually a pretty complex process, as the film must be logical enough for the audience to buy into, allowing them to become immersed in the movie.

Some 2,000 research fellows, grad­ uate students, and professionals in business and government each year work with the Center's international staff in cooperative study, training, and research. They examine major issues related to population, resources and development, the environment, culture, and communication in Asia, the Pacific, and the United States. The Center was established in 1960 by the United States Congress, which provides principal funding. Support also comes from more than twenty Asian and Pacific governments, as well as private agencies and corporations. Editor's Note UNTIL very recent times, the term melodrama was used pejoratively to typify inferior works of art that subscribed to an aesthetic of hyperbole and that were given to sensationalism and the crude manipulation of the audiences' emotions. However, during the last fifteen years or so, there has been a distinct rehabilitation of the term consequent upon a retheoriz­ ing of such questions as the nature of representation in cinema, the role of ideology, and female subjectivity in films.

  • 1 Dis-Placing the East/West Binary: Aesthetic and Cultural Crossover In
    1 Dis-Placing the East/West Binary: Aesthetic and Cultural Crossover in Film and Visual Culture Cardiff, 2 November 2012 A Symposium Report by Hiu M. Chan, Cardiff University When that other is Asia and the “Far East”, it always seems as if the European intellectual must speak in absolute terms, making this other an utterly incomprehensible, terrifying, and fascinating spectacle ... [T]he “native” is turned into an absolute entity in the form of an image (the “empty” Japanese ritual or “China loam”), whose silence becomes the occasion for our speech. (Chow 33, 34) Dis-Placing the East/West Binary was a one-day symposium organized by Paul Bowman at Cardiff University in November 2012. The conference aimed to explore displacements and transformations of the relations of East Asian film with Euro-American film and visual culture; furthermore, it also aimed to examine the complexity of “place” (space) of Eastern and Western representations. Surprisingly for such an important research topic, this symposium has been one of the very few to focus on a similar theme within film and visual studies. Paul Bowman, who has been researching and writing on the work of Rey Chow, and has a particular interest in studies deconstructing the East/West binary, was unarguably a most suitable scholar to host this symposium. The first speaker, Fraser Mckissack, a doctoral student from the University of Auckland, presented a paper on “Cowboys, Samurai and the Crisis of Masculinity: Cinematic Representations of Manhood in the US and Japan in the Post-war Period”. His paper discussed how director Takashi Miike challenges the East/West and masculine/feminine binaries in Sukiyaki Western Django (2007), a film that represents a meeting point of influences, a culmination of years of cross-cultural remakes, reimaginings and negotiations of what it means to be American, Japanese, male, female, homosexual, heterosexual and others.

Sono stato colpito dall’idea di un ammasso di ferraglia che si muove come un serpente, trasportando un gruppo di sopravvissuti che si dimenano e lottano gli uni contro gli altri, ineguali persino in questa Arca di Noè perché divisi in scompartimenti”. “Volevo indagare la natura dell’essere umano in situazioni estreme, sia che si fosse trattato di un serial killer efferato, di un mostro che emergeva dal fiume Hangang o di una madre che impazziva: Transperceneige era il mio destino”. “La graphic novel che ha fatto da canovaccio era straordinaria e nasceva da un’idea originale, ma ho dovuto inventare una storia completamente nuova, con personaggi inediti, e creare uno Snowpiercer nuovo e dinamico, intriso di energia cinematografica.
