해금할 수 없는 것을 해금하기—월북영화인 해금 30년의 여정

Abstract

This paper revolves around the filmmakers and the release from the late 1940s when movie screening was prohibited due to filmmakers defecting to North Korea to 2000s. A sea gull produced in 1948 before the Korean War was the first film to be confiscated during the film screening because the filmmakers defecting to North Korea. After the outbreak of the Korean War, the films involving filmmakers defecting to North Korea could not be screened in South Korea. Like Arirang produced in 1926, many films that were produced just before the Korean War, such as the Home of the Heart made during the Japanese colonial period could not be released for a long time due to defectors from South Korea. The screenings of the films participated by filmmakers defecting to North Korea began to be made through films chosen by Korean film history canon. Hurrah! For Freedom which was the first film after the liberation was screened for the 30th anniversary of liberation in 1975 and the 60th anniversary of the birth of Korean films in 1979. This movie could be released in the way that erasing Dock Eunki on the screen occupied the most important position of Korean film history. Korean movies that have been hidden began to be excavated since 1988. Most of the excavated movies were late end of Japanese imperialism, so it was rather slippery due to collaboration with Japanese colonialists. This is also the result of the more sensitive issue of the pro-Japanese issue, but also the ignorance of filmmakers efecting to North Korea and North Korean films. Currently, research on filmmakers efecting to North Korea is being carried out with North Korean film research as a starting point.
