Please save the date for a Zoom lecture by Dr. Jihoon Kim, titled “Activism & Post activism: Korean Documentary Cinema, 1981-2021” on Wednesday, May 25, from 5 pm to 6:30 pm (PDT).
This presentation will provide an overview of documentary films from Korea addressing activism and protest from Dr. Kim’s latest monograph—the first academic book in English on South Korean non-fiction film and video practices.
This event is sponsored by EAC, EALCS, Carsey-Wolf Center, and Film and Media Studies.
In his lecture, Prof. Pickowicz will screen compelling clips from Chinese silent-era films of the 1920s and 1930s. He’ll emphasize the diverse roles played by women and ask questions about why the women seen on screen, including such iconic figures as Ruan Lingyu, Li Lili, and Wang Renmei, were far more important than men to the success of Chinese silent cinema.
Tuesday, May 10, 3:30 – 5:30 PM, SSMS 2135
