Commentary Screening
Focus on <Les Lieux d'une fugue> Georges Perec, a stroller in Paris
Perec has created as many diverse works for the film culture as he has for the field of literature. He wasn’t shy of crossing different genres and types, engaging in documentary, fiction, short film, feature film and even television films. Unlike the nouveau cinema movement group (e.g. Duras, Robbe-Grillet) that viewed cinema as a process of recovering literary value, Perec had a passion for film itself and genuinely explored images and sounds. The screening and commentary, focusing on Perec’s <Les Lieux d'une fugue>, will help the audience find a way to better understand his world of creativity.

What is Casual Cinema?: From Production to Appreciation
Nowadays, the act of making or watching a film can no longer be considered special in itself. Nevertheless, why is film yet to be established as an everyday activity? It may be due to the discrepancy between technological foundation and institutional practices, or it may be because the conventional concept of cinema’s influence remains strong to this day. This event, which consists of workshops, lectures, and discussions, was prepared to examine what is needed to make a film more approachable daily activity, and to present examples of practical methods to consider.
This event is planned and organized in cooperation with the Institute of Dankook Global Visual Contents.
Session 1: Making Films casually
Session 2: Watching Films casually
