> Angeles.
>
>  After working as an assistant to veteran director Im Kwon-Taek, Kim 
> Hong-Joon has moved on to establish himself as a leading figure in 
> Korean film. In addition to his provocative film work, he has served 
> as the director of the Puchon Fantastic Film Festival, the head of the 
> Korean Film Commission, and became a recognizable television 
> personality, introducing classic Korean films, which served as the 
> basis for My Korean Cinema. He is now the dean of the School of Film 
> and Multimedia at the Korean University of the Arts. FVC will screen 
> two of Kim Hong-Joon’s films, My Korean Cinema, a documentary on 
> Korean film history, and Jungle Story, a feature film about a rock 
> band starring the real-life rockers: Yun Do-hyun and Kim Ch’ang-wan. 
> Immediately after the screening of My Korean Cinema, there will be a 
> panel discussion on Korean cinema with director Kim Hong-Joon, Eunsun 
> Cho (USC) and Kyung Hyun Kim (UCI). This event is also co-sponsored by 
> the Asian Visual Studies Seminar Group.
>
> MY KOREAN CINEMA
>  4pm, HIB 135 (free and open to the public)
>  In the vein of Martin Scorsese’s warmly received recollections of 
> Hollywood and Italian cinema comes Kim Hong-Joon’s overview of forty 
> years of Korean film history. Culled from his televison presentations, 
> the film features the director’s reflections on the work of Im 
> Kwon-Taek, Yu Hyon-Mok, Kim Ki-Young and Shin Sang-ok, as well as many 
> others whose work has gone largely undocumented. A funny and moving 
> ode to a life of cinephilia, the film draws on Kim’s experience as a 
> filmmaker as well as film commissioner and festival director to inform 
> this nostalgic journey. A panel discussion on Korean cinema will 
> follow the screening with Kim Hong-Joon, Eunsun Cho (USC), and Kyung 
> Hyun Kim (UC Irvine) participating.

> Band (led by real-life rock star Do-Hyun Yun). Do-Hyun drops out of 
> school to search for success in the music business, but becomes 
> frustrated when the recording of his album is put on hold because it 
> is not considered commercial enough by record executives. Kim Hong-jun 
> avoids the trappings of the familiar music business narrative by 
> remaining honest to his subject and using a compelling visual style to 
> present the musician’s performances.
