History leading to South Korean
Film Renaissance
• 1988, The Motion Picture Law (MPL) is passed. It allowed major U.S. to release their films directly
into the Korean Market and set up branches. Began with 20th Century Fox, followed by Warner
Brothers (1989), Columbia (1990), and Disney (1993).
• “In May 1994, the Presidential Advisory Council on Science and Technology reported to President
Kim Young-sam an eye opening statistic showing that profits from the Hollywood blockbuster
Jurassic Park (US, 1993) equaled the export revenue of 1.5 million Hyundai cars” (Shin/Stringer, 53).
• In January 1995, The Basic Motion Picture Promotion Law (Yongsangchinhung Kiban bop) was
passed. Created to help promote the media by requiring the government create bodies, conferences,
policies, and funds for media promotion.
• In December 1995, The Motion Picture Promotion Law (Yonghwa pop) allowed incentives like tax
breaks for film studios to welcome large conglomerates (mostly local), like Samsung and Hyundai to
contribute to the film industry.
• 1996, establishment of the Pusan International Film Festival
• The South Korean Film Renaissance – Started by Shiri (1999). A period where South Korean were
beginning to have bigger production values. Eventually, Korean films became to overtake American
films in terms of box office receipts in South Korean theatres. Domestic films began making more
revenue than imported films.
Hybridity Theory
Hybridity is used to describe mixed cultures or the process of mixing genre
within a culture.
• Homi Bhaba (1994) – “Hybridity opens up a third space” within which elements
encounter and transform each other as signifying the “in-between,”
incommensurable location where minority discourses intervene to preserve their
strengths and particularity.”
• Garcia Gancing (1995) and Jan N. Pieterse (2004) – “Hybridization offers an
opportunity for local cultures to be highlighted or to continued, and furthermore
that globalization is built on the base of local culture and local interpretation.”
In terms of Hybridization, it is believed that South Korean cinema mimicked many
filmmaking techniques from other countries (primarily western) and incorporated it
into their own.
Some Films of the South Korean
Renaissance
• Kang Je-gyu’s Shiri (1999) trailer
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPL0vM71vrc
• Park Chan Wook’s J.S.A. Joint Security Area (2000) trailer
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IEl2BVcnnc
• Kang Je-gyu’s Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War (2004) trailer
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-1Rtj1jClo&list=PL_tkjvIfT5F9aPWcwrimVTMn1cLiMWqC4&index=8
Domestic films that were most successful dealt with South Korea and
it’s relations to other countries.
Bong Joon-ho’s The Host “Gwoemul”
(2006)
• The Host (2006) trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bBsLzknLQI&list=PL_tkjvIfT5F9aPWcwri
mVTMn1cLiMWqC4&index=2
• The story of the Host is based on the story of Albert McFarland, an
American civilian who ran the morgue at the U.S. Military base in Seoul
and ordered Korean employees to dump embalming waste down the drain
into the Han River in 2000.
• The creature was created by San Francisco based FX House
• Film is a Horror/Monster/Family Comedy?
- Protagonist’s are a ragtag family
• Some consider this film “Anti-American”
• Park Myeong-Chan’s The Host 2 (2014) featurette
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fedr47ugbM
Final Thoughts I Had
• Should South Korean Cinema be known for hybridization?
• Is it right for South Korea Cinema to be known for a particular
period in it’s film history?
• Korean culture is becoming more popular than people think.
- Hanryu (New Wave): Korean Music and Television becoming more popular in the
world. Started in China but spread out.
- Korean Starcraft players are celebrities in Video Games Industry
- Koreans are most frequently cast Asian actors in Hollywood (my own observation)
