A talk by Yeong Ran Kim, PhD
Korean queer independent cinema has played a pivotal role in articulating what it means to be "critically queer" within the post-authoritarian Korean society. This presentation explores the confluence of the global influx of queer culture and the enduring legacy of liberatory politics from the democratization movement, shaping the post-1990s history of Korean queer independent film. Drawing upon the works of 연분홍치마(Pinks), an independent documentary filmmakers’ collective, it examines the intertwined nature of filmmaking and social justice movements within Korean queer communities. It will demonstrate that collaboration functions as both an aesthetic platform and a guiding principle in queer independent filmmaking, contributing to the creation of queer worlds beyond the rubrics of identity politics.For more information, call 845-758-6822, or e-mail [email protected].
