Presented by UCSB’s East Asia Center

Dr. Jihoon Kim will give a talk about the first ever English-written academic monologue on the South Korean non-fiction film and video practices by filmmakers, artists, and collectives since the 1980s. Kim will describe them within the context of two trends: the ‘activist’ cinéma vérité tradition of the non-fiction films and , and second, the ‘post-activist’ formal and aesthetic variations of documentary film.
