From the 1970s through the 1990s, the Korean film market, like the markets of many countries around the world, was dominated by Hollywood. Local film critic Kim Young-jin lamented, \u201cThe Korean film industry began in 1993 without a single coin to inherit from the past, and in a state of self-examination, embarked on a solitary battle for its very survival. It was a year distinguished by steely resolve and a solitary, terrible fight for survival.\u201d The majority of film critics, students, and industry professionals viewed the future of South Korean cinema as bleak.<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, barely nine years later, South Korea became the first film industry in recent history to reclaim its domestic market from Hollywood. Soon thereafter, South Korean cinema entered its most iconic year in its history. The year 2003 brought a wave of new South Korean films, including <em>Oldboy, A Good Lawyer\u2019s Wife, Save the Green Planet!, A Tale of Two Sisters, Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter&#8230; and Spring, and Memories of Murder<\/em>. In 2004, the New York-based film magazine Film Comment published its first special issue on Korean cinema. Chuck Stephens, the special issue\u2019s editor, commended South Korean cinema as \u201cone of the greatest renaissances in global filmmaking the world has ever seen.\u201d Since then, South Korean cinema made a history. Indeed, South Korean cinema provides one of the most striking case studies of non-Western cinematic success in the age of the neoliberal world order and Hollywood\u2019s domination in the global film market. What happened to the South Korean film culture between 1992 and 2003? How did what was once an \u201cinvisible\u201d cinema become one of the world\u2019s most influential film industries so quickly? And what implications does the South Korean film renaissance have for the ways we approach national and transnational cinema more broadly?<\/p>\n<p>Hosted by the Department of Digital Arts and Creative Industries at Lingnan University in Hong Kong and co-organized by the Department of Asian Languages and Literature at the University of Washington, The Origins of the South Korean Film Renaissance will offer invaluable opportunities not only to discover the resilient, persistent, and transformational power of South Korean cinema but also to build a vibrant intellectual community, where film and media scholars, filmmakers, journalists, and industry experts collectively examine South Korean film cultures and industries in the 1990s and early 2000s. The three-day conference will bring together leading scholars and experts of South Korean and Asian cinemas from the Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America to present their research findings and new developments in methodology. The conference will include approximately 12-15 academic papers and roundtable discussions from 3-5 film critics, journalists, and industry experts. Currently, we invite 15-minute presentation papers from scholars and graduate students. Papers presented at the conference will be developed and then considered for publication in a special issue of a high-ranking peer-reviewed journal, and\/or an edited volume with a major international press.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Possible topics include but are not limited to:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Cinephilia and the post-1990s New Korean Cinema<br \/>\nInternational film festivals in South Korea, including BIFF, PIFAN, and JIFF<br \/>\nInternational film festivals outside South Korea and global reception of South Korean cinema<br \/>\nFilm education, film schools, and film institutes<br \/>\nFilm journalism, including Cine 21, Film 2.0, Kino, Premiere, and Screen<br \/>\nArt cinemas and cinematheque movements<br \/>\nFilm and media archives in Korea<br \/>\nNew producers and the age of debut directors<br \/>\nTranslations of film textbooks and the introduction of global film theories<br \/>\nReception of Asian cinema in Korea<br \/>\nShort films and independent cinema<br \/>\nDV documentaries<br \/>\nMultiplexes and the demise of local double feature movie theaters<br \/>\nCable TV and IPTV<br \/>\nCJ, Lotte, Showbox, and other media conglomerates<br \/>\nIMF Crisis and the Dot Com phenomenon<br \/>\nWomen\u2019s cinema and female filmmakers<br \/>\nQueer cinema and the emergence of LGBT+ activism<br \/>\nThe rise and falls of VHS, DVDs, video rental shops, and the so-called DVD rooms<br \/>\nGlobalization and transnational co-production<\/p>\n<p>Accommodation (three nights for those from Asia-Pacific; four nights for those from other regions) and meals during conference will be covered for conference participants.
