Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course provides a general survey of East Asian film, with particular emphasis on the screen industry of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The fast development of East Asian film industries after official deregulation and open-door policies of the 1990s gained international recognition and influence for East Asian cinema. Until then, the most influential films in East Asia had been Hollywood productions; because of the growth of the East Asian film industry, especially its success in obtaining larger budgets, East Asian film has been recognized not only within the region, but in U.S. and European markets. Since the 1990s, the East Asian cinematic landscape has responded dramatically to changes in governmental policies and marketing strategies in a reaction to global capital opportunities. International influence among East Asian nations has increased, and it has led to the development of pan-Asian cinema. The artistic flow had once been entirely from West to East, but now it includes East-to-West activity, such as remaking East Asian films in the United States and the debuts of East Asian stars, such as the Korean pop singer Rain, in Hollywood movies. Coproduction, assimilation, U.S. remakes of East
Asian films, growing pan-Asianism, international film festivals, and cofinancing and marketing are issues that will be treated in this course.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Students will be graded 50% on participation and attendance and 50% on the final exam. Everystudent is encouraged to participate in the class discussion. The final exam will be an open-book test, and will be given at the end of the course.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

The goal of this course is to understand the sudden rise of East Asian film since the 1990s and its international influence. Students will gain an understanding of how each nation in East Asia has dealt with deregulation and open-door policies, and how these reactions have led East Asian nations to secure their national cinemas and create a Pan-Asian cinema by enlarging and unifying film markets to invite larger-scale movies and marketing.

Prüfungsstoff

Every class will consist of a lecture, discussion of assigned reading, the screening of a film, and analysis of the film. Students will be required to read assigned readings before attending class, and will be required to participate fully in class discussions of the reading and the film screened in class. The lectures and readings will include topics related to contemporary East Asian films in general, as well as policies and reactions of the film industry of each nation.
