Transnational Korean Cinema Cultural Politics, Film Genres, and Digital Technologies

"The most comprehensive book available on South Korean Cinema, covering the complexities of the Korean film industry from 1919 onwards, both as an art form and as a business. It is destined to become required reading for anyone interested in Korean cinema especially in relation to the link between politics, economics and cultural expression." - Colette Balmain (author of Introduction to Japanese Horror Film) "An ambitious, well-researched book that details how the complex interplay between cultural policy, socioeconomic development, competition with Hollywood and technological change led to the remarkable growth and increasing global reach of Korean cinema."
- Darcy Paquet (author of "New Korean Cinema: Breaking the Waves") "Recommended." (Choice) "Although Transnational Korean Cinema: Cultural Politics, Film Genres, and Digital Technologies is concise, it contains a vast amount of information...a comprehensive review of various historical and social factors influencing [the] evolution [of South Korea films."
