A Critical Analysis of the Pusan International Film Festival

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 부산국제영화제의 비약적 발전 과정에 있어서 지대한 영향을 미친 요인으로서 경제와 민주주의 발전 외에 자본의 원리에 의해 영화제의 비즈니스적인 측면을 강조한다. 자본과의 강력한 연결고리는 영화제의 가장 강점인 동시에 영화제의 장기적 생존의 문제로 접근 했을 경우 가장 우려되는 측면이기도 하다.
본 연구는 또한 부산 국제영화제가 어떠한 방식으로 ‘국가’ 보다는 ‘지역’을 강조 활용하여 발전 하였고 주변국과 비교하여 국제적 명성을 얻을 수 있었는지에 대하여 고찰 할 것이다. 아래 내용에서 다루어질 부산국제영화제의 탄생 배경과 과정은 많은 의미를 내포하고 있으며 무의 상태부터 라기 보다 엔터테인먼트산업에 의하여 이루어 진 측면을 고찰 한다.

This study will seek to argue, the most significant contributing factor to PIFF’s success has not just been the country’s economic growth and democracy, but its strong focus on business and combining cinematic concerns with commercial interest. The connection between business and films can be seen as one of the festival’s greatest strengths but it is also at the heart of the festival’s strongest criticism and as will be explored, potentially the greatest risk to the festivals long-term survival.
This study will also consider how PIFF’s emphasis on regionalism has overcome nationalist concerns and seen it embrace its neighbours, including its recent oppressor and rival Japan to gain international prestige. As will be examined below, the story of PIFF’s creation contains many fascinating factors - but the festival was not created in a vacuum and as might be expected from the entertainment industry, many conflicting factors were to lead to it success.
