This course examines Korean cinema as a window into Korean culture, identity, and society through the lens of specific themes such as motherhood and fatherhood, feminism, posthumanism, social critique, and cross-cultural remakes with Indonesian films. By analyzing selected films that explore these issues, participants will gain critical insights into how Korean filmmakers represent gender, family, technology, and societal change, as well as how these narratives resonate beyond Korea. Open to the general public interested in Korea, film, or cultural studies, the course requires no prior knowledge of Korean language or cinema.
