This workshop aims to further the discussion by bringing attention to a subject of space in and of Korean cinema. It approaches cinematic rendition of space as critical optics to problematize and conceptualize the various topics of Korean film, including authorship, genre, mode of production, and reception. Concurrently, it invites reflection on the way in which spatial imagery and imaginary correspond to the diverse impulses and conundrums that constitute contemporary Korean society and culture. <br>
