Nair An Introduction to Early Japanese Cinema By Sato Tadao The Establishment of a National Cinema Under Colonialism: The History of Early Korean Cinema By Lee Young-Il Editor's Note: The articles in this section were originally published as the catalogue for the 2nd Pusan International film festival which ran from the tenth of October to the 18th October 1997. As much as possible we have sought to emulate the appearance of the booklet in the layout we have used for the articles, however we have made no attempt to follow the booklet by printing each article in both English and in Korean characters. In very few cases minor changes have been made to syntax. Home | First release | Classics & re-runs | Reviews | Trailers | Cast & credits | Search | Comments
