This examination of the role of Korean film as a cultural text of
Koreans in both the North and South focuses on the conflicting
self-identities of a people still strongly committed to their
common cultural traditions despite political division. This study
defines the significance of filmmaking and film viewing in Korean
society. It covers the introduction of motion pictures in 1903,
Korean cinema during the Japanese colonial period (1910-45) and the
development of North and South Korean cinema up to the 1990s. It
introduces the works of Korea's major directors, and analyzes the
Korean film industry in terms of film production, distribution and
reception. Based on this historical analysis, the study
investigates ideological constructs in 17 films, eight from North
Korea and nine from South Korea.
