Examines the 1990s growth of art film exhibition, consumption, and
cinephilia within South Korean cinema This book is a narrative
history of art film exhibition and cinephilia in post-dictatorship
South Korea It is the first study to consider the practical,
cultural, and social experience of cinema-going during a formative
period of Korean film history It presents an argument about the
important legacy of the 1990s period of cinephilia; especially, its
connections to the critical and economic success of South Korean
film The book charts the rise and subsequent fall of art film
exhibition spaces like videotheques (cinematheques) and independent
art houses and the reasons for the decline of the art film sector
The research is based on data drawn from contemporary media
reports, archival research, as well as interviews and surveys with
art film exhibitors, distributors, importers, and spectators from
the period This monograph examines an unexplored area of South
Korean cinema history the 1985-1997 growth of art film exhibition,
consumption, and cinephilia. This moment of heightened interest in
art film altered how many Koreans conceptualised cinema and helped
pave the way for the critical success of South Korean film. This
historical study analyses the cultural, political, social, and
economic developments of the post-1985 period that increased
interest in European art film. It looks at the interactions of art
house exhibitors with cinephile audiences, the media and the
state-level administrators responsible for governing the industry.
The aim of young cinephiles was nothing less than a bottom-up
cultural transformation of a society emerging from three decades of
dictatorship. The analysis is based on the previously unheard
voices of audiences who participated in the cinephilia. This study
is both a history of an era in Korean cinema and an argument about
the impact of this period of cultural renewal on the industry.
