Won, Sang-Eun ; KUBÍČEK, Jiří (advisor) ; Mertová, Michaela (referee)
Korean cinematography gained liberty after the military regime, but the situation depends on political situation. The growth of Korean cinematography shows influences of the policies by every korean government. Thanks to the world-wide success of Korean films, korean viewers perceive how the conservative government tries to control the film industry, and they know how to react to it. For example, the film 26 years (2012) - it was not possible to be shot because of the interruption by the conservative government. Because this film contains massacre in 1980 in the city Kwangju by the dictator, and the dictator is still alive. However future viewers of the film supported it, and the production invited subscriptions to a fund. Finally the film was finished in 2012, and distributed to cinemas all around south Korea. However korean animation is out of viewer's concern, even though it has been the biggest scapegoat by policies of Korean government. Every conservative government have used korean comics as a scapegoat whenever they reached problems. When there were serious criminals of youth or criminals against children, korean government strengthened censorships about comics. Some comics were banned, and authors of these comics could not work on their comics. It happened in 1997, and has began again in 2012.
