Description de l'ouvrage :
A multifaceted exploration of the South Korean film industry
As shown by the success of Squid Game and Parasite, South Korea’s film industry is producing films and original series for streaming services, film studios, and television stations worldwide. South Korea is now arguably considered one of the few countries outside the United States to have captivated the world’s hearts and minds through pop music, TV dramas, and film. Similarly, the exponential growth in the South Korean film industry has been mirrored by a growing body of industry and film policy forums and academic conferences in both the East and the West.
The South Korean Film Industry is the first detailed scholarly overview of the South Korean film industry. The thirteen chapters discuss topics from short films to popular television series that have engaged global audiences. Contributors explore the major changes in South Korean film making, marketing, and in the international growth and popularity of South Korean films. By bringing together a wide range of academic specialists, The South Korean Film Industry situates the current scholarship on South Korean cinema within the ongoing theoretical debates in contemporary global film studies. This volume will be widely read in undergraduate and graduate classes related to Korean and East Asian studies, cinema and media studies, cultural studies, and communication studies. Moreover, many institutions offer dedicated modules on South Korean cinema, media, and popular culture, for which The South Korean Film Industry will be ideal.

Revue de Presse :
"The South Korean Film Industry is truly an outstanding, much-needed contribution to Korean film studies from an industrial perspective. It brings together diverse views and perspectives on all aspects of the Korean film industry (production, distribution, exhibition) from scholars based in Asia, the United States, and Europe. A must-read for both scholars and fans of South Korean films." -- Hye Seung Chung, author of Cinema under National Reconstruction: State Censorship and South Korea’s Cold War Film Culture
