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.

  • Andy Warhol: When Junkies Ruled the World
    Nebula 2.2 , June 2005 Andy Warhol: When Junkies Ruled the World. By Michael Angelo Tata So when the doorbell rang the night before, it was Liza in a hat pulled down so nobody would recognize her, and she said to Halston, “Give me every drug you’ve got.” So he gave her a bottle of coke, a few sticks of marijuana, a Valium, four Quaaludes, and they were all wrapped in a tiny box, and then a little figure in a white hat came up on the stoop and kissed Halston, and it was Marty Scorsese, he’d been hiding around the corner, and then he and Liza went off to have their affair on all the drugs ( Diaries , Tuesday, January 3, 1978). Privileged Intake Of all the creatures who populate and punctuate Warhol’s worlds—drag queens, hustlers, movie stars, First Wives—the drug user and abuser retains a particular access to glamour. Existing along a continuum ranging from the occasional substance dilettante to the hard-core, raging junkie, the consumer of drugs preoccupies Warhol throughout the 60s, 70s and 80s. Their actions and habits fascinate him, his screens become the sacred place where their rituals are projected and packaged. While individual substance abusers fade from the limelight, as in the disappearance of Ondine shortly after the commercial success of The Chelsea Girls , the loss of status suffered by Brigid Polk in the 70s and 80s, or the fatal overdose of exemplary drug fiend Edie Sedgwick, the actual glamour of drugs remains, never giving up its allure. 1 Drugs survive the druggie, who exists merely as a vector for the 1 While Brigid Berlin continues to exert a crucial influence on Warhol’s work in the 70s and 80s—for example, The Philosophy of Andy Warhol , as detailed by Bob Colacello in the chapter “Paris (and Philosophy )”—her street cred.

  • Part Two: Synaesthetic Cinema: the End of Drama
    PART TWO: SYNAESTHETIC CINEMA: THE END OF DRAMA "The final poem will be the poem of fact in the language of fact. But it will be the poem of fact not realized before." WALLACE STEVENS Expanded cinema has been expanding for a long time. Since it left the underground and became a popular avant-garde form in the late 1950's the new cinema primarily has been an exercise in technique, the gradual development of a truly cinematic language with which to expand further man's communicative powers and thus his aware- ness. If expanded cinema has had anything to say, the message has been the medium.1 Slavko Vorkapich: "Most of the films made so far are examples not of creative use of motion-picture devices and techniques, but of their use as recording instruments only. There are extremely few motion pictures that may be cited as instances of creative use of the medium, and from these only fragments and short passages may be compared to the best achievements in the other arts."2 It has taken more than seventy years for global man to come to terms with the cinematic medium, to liberate it from theatre and literature. We had to wait until our consciousness caught up with our technology. But although the new cinema is the first and only true cinematic language, it still is used as a recording instrument. The recorded subject, however, is not the objective external human con- dition but the filmmaker's consciousness, his perception and its pro- 1 For a comprehensive in-depth history of this development, see: Sheldon Renan, An Introduction to the American Underground Film (New York: Dutton Paperbacks, 1967).

  • Andy Warhol's Blow
    INTRODUCTION hen Andy Warhol began making films in 1963, blow jobs, although widely given and received, to be sure, were still a taboo subject. Any claim that, today, this taboo has been lifted, is a misjudgment, despite the sexual liberation of the 1970s, the public sphere’s acknowledgment of “alternative lifestyles,” the media industry’s ever more aggressive exploitation of racy sex, the proliferation of Internet chat rooms, and a recent presidential sex scandal. Especially the last example makes clear just how deeply American culture continues to be pervaded by the private/public split. Apart from the fact that genital sex in general is still a queasy subject (its representations rele- gated to the realm of the pornographic), sex of the nonmarital, nonreproductive kind is entertained with even greater anxiety. As far as blow jobs are concerned, sex censorship is firmly ritualized and yet (or therefore?) highly ironic. Representations of blow jobs are precise indices of how a modern, basically liberal, secular society determined by the private/public split visually serves up sex to its media consumers. On one level, the physical particularities of blow jobs are a godsend for Hollywood and cable television: The partner who moves down the anatomy invariably exits the frame—the realm of what is deemed representable— without disturbing the viewer’s connectedness to the overall act. Even so, these physical specifics, in themselves, still pose a particularly slippery area. They foreground in charged manner that sex is about power, and power is what determines the status of gen- der and gender relations under patriarchy.

After an exhaustive compilation and categorization of more than 2,500 movies, this article explores the biker image on films through the most representatives. This is a brief review of the motorcycle use from the Early Cinema to the end of the 20th century, highlighting the fifties and seventies. Some movies of those years marked the biker genre and the biker and gang aesthetics, both in costume and in the way they relate to the world.

    ANDY WARHOL PRESS BULLETIN ‘Warhol in Motion’ June 8 –July 9, 2011 GALERİST Galatasaray / Akaretler /Tepebaşı THE MOST ESSENTIAL NAME OF 20 TH CENTURY CONTEMPORARY ART – ANDY WARHOL – IS AT GALERIST Galerist accommodates the first Warhol exhibition in Turkey; ‘Warhol in Motion’, and it contains the films, videos and polaroids of the legendary American artist Andy Warhol, who is considered to be one of the most important names of the 20 th century art. The exhibition that will be realized from June 8 to July 9, 2011 and its sister activities aim to bring together the art lovers with the well known works of the artist, who is not only a pioneer in the world of contemporary art but also in the fields of fashion, design and cinema. The exhibition, which will be realized through the collaboration of the Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts, The Andy Warhol Museum and Galerist as a result of a long term correspondence, consists of some significant works that were created by using cinema and photography techniques by Andy Warhol , who is one of the major iconic figures of POP ART that brought a new interpretation to the 20th century art in the aesthetic perspective. The importance of Warhol in contemporary art lies in the usage of various practices simultaneously, in addition to his paintings. The “Warhol in Motion” exhibition at Galerist will present his works that he produced while experimenting at his renowned workshop “Factory”, which he founded in 1962, in New York. The works in the exhibition have a feature that brings on both the artist’s creative efforts and some popular Americans like Dennis Hopper, Mick Jagger, Joan Collins and Liza Minelli.
