[Commlist] Open Access Publication Announcement: Spring In My Hometown

Andrew David Jackson likes to announce the publication of a new 
open-access publication on the South Korean film: /Spring in My Hometown 
/ //아름다운////시절/.

The inaugural volume of the /Cinemas of Asia/ series, this book offers a 
fresh perspective on South Korean director Lee Kwang-mo’s 1998 film 
/Spring in My Hometown/ (아름다운시절). Lee wrote and directed the intensely 
personal film, which tells the story of his grandfather’s relationship 
with his ten-year-old father during the Korean War. This volume examines 
the industrial context in which Lee attempted to bring his film into 
production, the cinematic cycle from which it emerged, and the unique 
style that captivated festival juries but divided audiences. Jackson’s 
book offers rare historical insight into an important Asian film 
industry on the verge of commercial transformation at the end of the 
last century.

Please download the open-access edition on Fulcrum

/Cinemas of Asia/is the first series dedicated to the cinemas of South, 
Southeast, East, Central Asia, and global Asian diasporas. Each volume 
offers a critical analysis and interpretation of a notable film from 
Asian cinema and includes thematic chapters, accessible writing, and 
screenshots and illustrations. Authors analyse each film from a variety 
of angles, including film, literary, historical, gender, and 
post-/decolonial studies, and each volume is accessibly written, 
informative, and appeals to academics, students, cinephiles, and 
non-experts alike.

If you're interested in pitching a proposal to the series, please
