Re: Korean Film Archive
Really wish I should have ordered this Shin Sang-ok Collection like the instant when it came out in 2007 (if I remember correctly). It was available for a very short period of time.
Also, noticed these sets produced by KOFA:
Women on Screen: Understanding Korean Society and Women Through Films
Family on Screen: Understanding Korean Society and Family Through Films
For research purposes and embassies I reckon.

Are some of these films exclusive to these sets, or have they been issued separately for purchase?L.A. wrote:Also, noticed these sets produced by KOFA:

[disc 1]. Sweet dream
[disc 2]. Madame Freedom
[disc 3]. Bound by chastity
[disc 4]. Homebound
[disc 5]. Yeong-ja’s Heydays
[disc 6]. Suddenly in the dark of night
[disc 7]. Gilsotteum
[disc 8]. Happy end
I believe # 3, 6, and 7 were not released generally (although there is a Japanese DVD of Gilsotteum)
The Family on Screen box contained:
[disc 1]. Romantic Papa = 로맨스 빠빠
[disc 2]. Rainy days = 장마
[disc 3]. The oldest son = 장남
[disc 4]. The quiet family = 조용한 가족
[disc 5]. A good lawyer’s wife = 바람난 가족
[disc 6]. Family ties = 가족의 탄생
[disc 7]. The host = 괴물
[disc 8]. Punch = 완득이.
Spectrum announced #3 but I don't think there ever was a release. (?)

Re: Korean Film Archive
Thanks for that L.A.
Of the titles listed in the Literature set, I believe only Our Twisted Hero hasn't received a general release on DVD (except in Japan).

Re: Korean Film Archive
I was the one grilling the graphic designer on his post; to sum up, The Bell Tower is already out (though I can't find a retailer carrying it yet) and a Shin Dong-hun boxed set will be out soon, too. He also says Aimless Bullet and Gagman on Blu-ray this November.htdm wrote:Nice catch--definitely will be looking for this and Obtaltan (which should be coming soon too).

Re: Korean Film Archive
Great news about the Shin Dong-hun set!
Re Bell Tower: no one in Koreatown (or even KOFIC, apparently) have seen the title.
Looking forward to those November releases.

I deleted the earlier post because the link didn't work (for me at least) and tried to post it again. Sorry for the hassle.htdm wrote:Not sure what happened to L.A.'s post, but he mentioned that Shin Dong Hun Animation Collection is also up for preorder at YesAsia.

Re: Korean Film Archive
Again it's a shame Seoul Selection stopped selling films, always ordered from there. Oh well.
How's YesAsia, is it convenient?

Re: Korean Film Archive
YesAsia is convenient and shipping is free. Plus there is the buy three Korean discs and get one movie free deal, which they have a selection of 10 or so DVDs that are not the greatest in selection, but it's something!
