“Destination Hong Kong: South Korean Cinema’s Encounter with Chinese-Language Cinemas” conference is organized by the School of Creative Media at the City University of Hong Kong in partnership with Korean Film Archive (KOFA) and Asian Cinema Research Lab (ACR Lab). This conference will explore how South Korean cinema was shaped by a trans-regional network that included the cinemas of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and mainland China from the 1950s to the twenty-first century. The two-day conference will bring together leading and emerging scholars and experts of South Korean and Asian cinemas from the Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America, to present their research findings and new developments in theory and methodology.
