PRICELESS ISSUE NO. 84 OCT/NOV 12 Published by Joe Renna for the Sons of Peterstown Sports Club TIME PRESENT MIRRORS TIME PAST . Sacco & Sons Meat Market is celebrating its 65th year in business. The milestone Jcoincides with the grand opening of VB3 Restaurant and Bar. Although the two businesses are diametrically different, their fundamental principles are identical. The contrast between the two businesses is extreme. While the one-room butcher shop was without frills when it was opened in 1947, VB3 could only have existed in a science fiction magazine. The new restaurant is high tech to the max. The restaurant/bar has 30 large flat screen televisions worked into a funky décor of lights and furniture, coupled with state of the art audio/visual equipment and WIFI service. Late night, when the kitchen is closed, the space transforms into a happening hot spot. By comparison, in 1947 a hot water heater was considered a luxury. While Sacco’s butcher shop was modest even by 1940’s standards, VB3 is ahead of its time. Management was not satisfied with creating something common. The owners wanted to be inventive and do things differently, like artists; they wanted to improve on what already was. The improvement that Jimmy and Rose Sacco were seeking when they started their business was in their quality of life. Though the motivations behind each business are different the drive to succeed and the way to do it through hard work are the same. This comes with no surprise for it’s in the cultural roots that the businesses are so much alike.

Screening the Past: Historiography of Contemporary South Korean Cinema, 1998-2008 Young Eun Chae a Dissertation Submitted To
Screening the Past: Historiography of Contemporary South Korean Cinema, 1998-2008 Young Eun Chae A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Communication Studies. Chapel Hill 2011 Approved by: Dr. Joanne Hershfield Dr. Ken Hillis Dr. Lawrence Grossberg Dr. Mark Driscoll Dr. Guo-Juin Hong ©2011 Young Eun Chae ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Screening the Past: Historiography of Contemporary South Korean Cinema, 1998-2008 (Under the direction of Joanne Hershfield) This dissertation examines cinematic representations of history on contemporary South Korean screen and the practices of film historiography in South Korea during a decade of democratic regimes are the subjects of this study. Between 1998 and 2008, during two liberal presidencies, the Korean film industry flourished and some of the most critical and traumatic events in the past were re-visited and re-visioned in popular films. 2009 Lost Memories and Hanbando employ alternative re-writings of the past, present, and future to portray the experiences of Japanese colonial occupations. The Korean War is re-examined in a more ambiguous and critical light in Taegukgi: The Brotherhood of War and Welcome to Dongmakgol, while Peppermint Candy and Splendid Vacation strive for capturing people‘s history, not an officially imposed version of History, in telling of the Gwangju Democratization Movement. As complex social constructions, the films analyzed in this dissertation reveal that South Koreans are finally able to ruminate on their past in a less simplistic and more complex manner without censorship.

Filibuster 2008
Filibuster 2008 Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster, and fling him to the public. Sir Winston Churchill Directly From the Editor!! Friends, full fraught with war-sweat glaring, kismet-dashed with derring-do, doth here present case: Alas the day when all voices cease and the final hours of coiling conundrum crash all together like minute pawns against the wagerly knights and evening kings and kingly queens in furious disparagement dispatch- ing the last breaths of mighty air! Not really. So, as both an editor and a writer, my chiefest frustration is also the greatest gift: I’m not included in this issue! “Humbug!” says Scrooge; “Hilarious!” says I! Aye. The focus changes when a feverish brain must reach for words other than its own, and here presented is the fruit of my labor(ers). No, I didn’t hire a score of goblins to sit in a dungeon and swim through page after page of unfaltering text. No. I swam through page after page, and one of the hardest things an editor must, MUST, do is say “No” to someone. I had to turn down some submissions. Sounding the trumpet from the blistering recesses of the computer lab to the towering heights of the Library’s tenth floor yielded a great wealth of submissions, for which I among others am thoroughly grateful.

The fes- tival has established itself over the last 10 years as a widely respected and popular event within London’s cultural calendar and we look forward to continuing this good work. As the festival embarks upon its second decade, I am looking forward to guiding the festival so that it may contribute to the rich cultural heritage within the UK whilst supporting the UK-Korea relationship all year-round and not only during a festival period in the autumn. This year we will screen over 60 features and shorts from Korea, not just from the last 12 months but from throughout Korea’s cinematic history, including Korea’s first film from a female director 1955's The Widow. Regular visitors to the London Korean Film Festival will note that the festival programme has a broader feel this year. The festival has its regular strands on recent box-office hits, classics, indie, animation and docu- mentary to name just a few, but this year we have placed a special emphasis on women both behind and in front of the camera. With a strand entitled ‘The Lives of Korean Women through the eyes of Women Directors’ we will face the gender bias head on by celebrating the incredible female talent that Korea is producing which has not always had the exposure that it so rightfully deserves.
