是的,要取消screen quota 这个很早就听说了,也听说李沧东因此要辞职。

I'd like to hear your thoughts on the screen quota in general (whether it's indeed needed or not, ways to improve it, etc.), what might have caused the abrupt change in their attitude, and so forth..

I'm in favor of a sliding scale quota that will reduce and increase itself as necessary. Right now, since Korean film is so strong, I think it could benefit from some competition.

Right, as an old Korean saying goes, stagnant water is bound to decay, but this is true only so far as the competition is (reasonably) fair, which I'm not sure will be the case ever. But then again, my knowledge of the film industries is highly limited, and I'm probably just repeating a popular argument of a handful of hard-liners..

I think getting rid of the screen quota system is a bad, bad move. Delluding people into thinking the reason that it's okay to do so is because Korean films are doing so well is a mistake.' w9 u4 S( \7 x5 `

- so to protect and foster Korean films the government comes in and sets up the quota.
: B9 l, c# z0 b x3 ?# x3 ~: h( A6 y! u+ |5 T" B
- This creates an opportunity for Korean film. There is a demand for film now that won't be met, because that hole was usually filled by US film.
" J& f2 ]/ V: G+ Z/ V1 t5 F& y6 p8 H' q# d R! Y8 Y
- Demand for hole to be filled results in many films being made.

- Of course the usual commercial hollywood-rip-offs are made, but due to the need for a lot of film, a lot of film that is both original, and very KOREAN in nature are made and released as well, mixed in with all the commercial films.

8 @# [+ @0 f; @9 |6 z) q- E5 G- Sure enough Korean films begins to turn into little Hollywood. Sad. But the upside is that ticket sales are up, and everyone feels bloated and cocky. While stuff like Tube, My Wife is Gangster 4: My Sassy Tutor from Heaven's Garden, My Sassy Girl 5: The Domestic Abuse Years, and Sex is Zero 3 is being cranked out on an assembly line, and being released to gobs of screens, the demand for film continues to rise and so film is needed! Any film will do! And so films like Oasis, Art Museum by the Zoo, Failan, and Green Fish, enjoy this cushion and actually managed to get on to screens. 0 a" F' R; ?! K/ i8 y- D% [
' l% j$ M. a9 K. t- So the US finally bullies Korea into getting rid of the screen quota. Peoples are all like no problem, our films are doing great at the box office! Bring it on, yo!
- D. m: S1 K7 L+ H8 m9 P3 e. G7 @1 g$ k+ ~: a1 h( n/ ]
- So the quota goes away...and the competition starts. Korean films do okay at first, they win for a while, holding their own market share, until competition becomes stiffer and stiffer. Korean studios have less money so they take less risks. Movie investors take less risks. So we get My Sassy Girl 13: Yo Biatch!, and films like Christmas in August will never see the light of day.

8 Y2 X, T1 I; v EFrom first signs, I find it very encouraging that more support is being offered for art/experimental films. I read this as inclusive of not just the Euro-arthouse style filmmakers but also and more importantly the modernist and avant-garde practitioners who find it tough to get a release anywhere. My hope is that rather than caving in on the screen quota issue the Ministry negotiates a reduction in exchange for much increased support programme funds.
