『영화』로 살펴본 1970년대 전반기 한국영화제작의 안과 밖

Abstract

This study aims to examine the Korean Film Corporation's monthly magazine, Film (and its predecessor, Korea Cinema), as a source of empirical production trends in Korean cinema during the first half of the 1970s, the period of Park Chung-hee's dictatorship. Through the ‘brief news’(short articles) in the magazine, I aimed to examine production trends. The short articles were not faithfully listed in the table of contents, so academic research has not been done properly. In the early 1970s, enlightened ‘Saemaul youth films’ were made to meet the regime's standards for “security films,” but they were criticized for making ridiculous the Saemaul movement. Despite their sound ideology, young people's icons of resistance permeated that films. After the mega hit of <Home of Stars>(1974), the production of young literary films increased. The influence of emerging overseas filmmakers encouraged their desire for “new generation cinema,” which manifested itself in fresh amateurism in youth films by Ha Giljong, Lee Jangho, and Kim Hoseon. “Korea Youth Films” was an unintentional result of cultural planning from above and the unconsciousness of film production from below.
