Film at Lincoln Center and Subway Cinema announce “Korean Cinema's Golden Decade: The 1960s,” a sweeping retrospective that features 24 films from this remarkable period in Korean film history. The series will run from September 1–17 and is one of the largest retrospectives ever of 1960s Korean Cinema outside of Korea, including many rarely screened films, several presented on 35mm archival prints.
Long before Bong Joon Ho, Hong Sangsoo, and Park Chan-wook catapulted South Korean cinema onto the world stage, the foundation of their country's film industry formed in the aftermath of the Korean War. The period kickstarted a wealth of eclectic and innovative filmmaking that culminated in the 1960s. Closer inspection of this decade, now widely considered Korea's premier film renaissance, reveals the arrival of seminal works from auteurs such as Kim Ki-young, Shin Sang-ok, Yu Hyun-mok, Kim Soo-yong, and Lee Man-hee, alongside a meteoric rise and reinvention of genres—from...

Consolidation is built into the nature of corporations. If some little upstart is eating into your market, it is easy enough to buy the upstart and add its market share to your own. Capitalism is a lot like Darwinism — put a little fish in the path of a big fish, and the big fish is compelled by its nature to eat it.
But even as little fish are absorbed into big fish, more little fish are being born.
There was a time in contemporary music when there were dozens of iconic record labels, each of which had a distinct identity. Even people who don’t follow music know what a Motown record sounded like. Asylum Records meant LA singer/songwriters; Stax Records was Memphis soul; Island Records began as a reggae label; and Sire Records practically owned New York punk.
Compare that to today, when Universal Music Group owns Capitol,...

A historical probe commissioned by the Berlin Film Festival to investigate the Nazi past of founding director Alfred Bauer has confirmed that his role in the Third Reich’s propaganda body was more significant than previously known. The study also revealed that Bauer had systematically covered up his role in the Nazi bureaucracy after 1945.
The seven-month investigation was carried out by the Leibniz Institute for Contemporary History (IfZ) following the publication of a bombshell article in German newspaper Zeit on the eve of the festival’s 70th edition in February.
Based on documents at the German Federal Film Archive, the Zeit article revealed that Bauer had been a high-ranking Nazi during WWII and prompted the Berlin Film Festival to swiftly suspend one of its major prizes which was named after him.
The study confirmed that Bauer played a key role in the Reichsfilmintendanz, the steering body of National Socialist film policy,...
