In the latest in this series of lectures featuring world-leading scholars, Professor Steve Choe from San Francisco State University will address how key works from the New Korean Cinema respond to the films from the Golden Age. Taking into consideration the drastic transformations of the South Korean economy and politics between the 1960s and the 1990s, Professor Choe will discuss the films that track these changes and pose critical questions about trauma, revenge and history, among other ethical concerns.

Presented in partnership with Department of Film Studies, King’s College London.

The event will take place at the BFI NFT2.
