Mark your calendars, film lovers! Northwest Film Forum is offering a crash course through South Korean cinema every Monday throughout the month of August called South Korean Cinema: An Unconventional Crash Course This isn’t your typical 101 film history course! Led by Instructor Hannah Baek, participants will unpack significant themes, stylistic tendencies, and moments in South Korean cinema through an eclectic selection of films from the 1960s to the 2020s. Dive into exactly what “Korean film” is as you traverse its relationships to history and politics, gender and sex, transnational flows of capital, and more. Each workshop will include a hearty mix of lecture, group discussion, and live film analysis. No previous familiarity with Korean film, language, or history is required to enjoy—everyone will walk away from our series armed with a list of new films to explore and new insights for appreciating them. *Sliding scale, pay what you can!
