[Commlist] South Korean Cinema Seminar

SOUTH KOREAN CINEMA: LINKING PRESERVATION, DISTRIBUTION, AND EDUCATION.

A one-day seminar and free film screening at the University of Glasgow, 
1^st September 2022.

This seminar helps UK educators teach students about Korean Cinema. The 
global success of South Korea’s creative industries (/Hallyu/) provides 
an opportunity for the UK’s University sector to teach students about a 
culture they now regularly encounter through films (e.g. /Parasite/), 
television (e,g, /Squid Game/), music (e.g. BTS) and other cultural forms.

The one-day event aims to:

a) showcase the availability of Korean Cinema for UK educational 
purposes, including the Korean Film Archive's (KOFA) online resources, 
and the London Korean Film Festival’s (LKFF) screenings, and, b) to 
consider how to engage students with such resources.

Speakers: Sung ji Oh (KOFA); Eunji Lee (LKFF); Dr Jinhee Choi (Kings 
College, London); Dr Chi Yun Shin (Sheffield Hallam University); Dr 
Seung-woo Ha (Korea National University of Arts); Dr Jiyoung Lee (Hankuk 
University of Foreign Studies).

The event is blended, with attendance possible on Zoom or in person. It 
is free to attend, but numbers are limited in the venue so registration 
on Eventbrite is required.
