HS 100

Freshman Seminar

Film Festivals in Korea

Spring 2005

Syllabus and Course Information

The number of art cinema houses in Korea is abysmally small. Instead various film festivals in Korea cover a wide spectrum of genres and fill in for the lack of art cinema houses, especially outside the metropolitan Seoul area. In this course, we review the history and key characteristics of well-known Korean film festivals, such as PIFF (Pusan International Film Festival) and PIFAN (Puchon International Fanstastic Film Festival), and discuss the role of a film festival programmer.
