Korea's Occupied Cinemas, 1893-1948, Brian Yecies, Ae-Gyung Shim Nov 2011

Korea's Occupied Cinemas, 1893-1948, Brian Yecies, Ae-Gyung Shim

Brian Yecies

Korea’s Occupied Cinemas, 1893-1948 compares and contrasts the development of cinema in Korea during the Japanese occupation (1910-1945) and US Army Military (1945-1948) periods within the larger context of cinemas in occupied territories. It differs from previous studies by drawing links between the arrival in Korea of modern technology and ideas, and the cultural, political and social environment, as it follows the development of exhibition, film policy, and filmmaking from 1893 to 1948. During this time, Korean filmmakers seized every opportunity to learn production techniques and practice their skills, contributing to the growth of a national cinema despite the conditions …

Inroads For Cultural Traffic: Breeding Korea’S Cinematiger, Brian Yecies Nov 2011

Inroads For Cultural Traffic: Breeding Korea’S Cinematiger, Brian Yecies

Brian Yecies

The Golden Age of Hallyuwood – the fusion of Hallyu and Hollywood – facilitated and was facilitated by new spaces for creative and cultural expression. Domestic market share of local films, lucrative pre-sales, a robust screen quota and fresh genre-bending narratives and styles reached a peak of acclaim at home and abroad in 2005. This period of success was notably inspired internally after the establishment of a civilian government in 1993 and the subsequent elimination of censorship in 1996. However, external pressures involved in the (re)opening of Korea to Hollywood in the mid-1980s also had an impact on the rise …

Online learning or e-learning has had an impact on the way many institutions around the world provide opportunities for learning. For the past five years, the University of Wollongong, like many others, has taken a blended approach to online learning. Blended learning combines face-to-face and online learning. In the online component, learners interact with Web pages and online resources under the umbrella of a course management system (CMS).

Sejong Park's 'Birthday Boy' And Korean-Australian Encounters, Ben Goldsmith, Brian Yecies Nov 2011

Sejong Park's 'Birthday Boy' And Korean-Australian Encounters, Ben Goldsmith, Brian Yecies

Brian Yecies

This chapter focuses on some of the flows of film work between Australia and South Korea, and some of the roles taken by Australians in the performance (and particularly the sound) of Koreanness in different film contexts. We will explore Korean-Australian collaboration on film, through case studies of Sejong Park's Oscar-nominated short animated film Birthday Boy (2004) and two Korean feature films Musa (2001, Kim Sung-su Kim) and Shadowless Sword (2005, Kim Young-jun Kim) for which Australian firms provided sound post-production services. We are interested in how these films instanciate and expand Korean, Australian, diasporic and transnational filmmaking.
