Modern Korea: The Age of Beasts + Korean Ghost Stories – ieodo
COMBINED PROGRAMME:
Korean Ghost Stories – ieodo was chosen to screen alongside Modern Korea: The Age of Beasts on the suggestion of the latter’s producer-director, Jeong Jaeeun, who quotes extensively and lovingly from it.
This episode from a popular Korean TV series of strange folk tales narrates the legend of Ieodo Island, an empire ruled by women that is sometimes seen as a utopia. A television treasure.
Modern Korea: The Age of Beasts
An archive materials-based investigation into the way Korean state television in the 1980s and 1990s presented discrimination and violence against women in teleplays, talk and variety shows, as well as news items. A timely think piece of rare cinematic elegance!
