Bibliography of Korean Cinema
Compiled by Adam Hartzell
The following bibliography is a work in progress designed to provide information on published materials about Korean cinema. It is far from complete, but we hope over time to continually add to what we have listed below. Presently I am having trouble generating ASCII romanization accents on my computer, so I apologize for mis-romanizing the Scandanavian/European names that require umlauts and other accents. Whenever possible, I try to provide a full reference, but for items I only have access to online, you will find that page numbers are often missing. Plus, the formats here in the bibliography are pretty mish-mash and aren't necessarily in MLA or Chicago Manual of Style format, so please check those organizations for proper format. Along those same lines, it is difficult to figure out the full names of some of the writers of pieces online and when exactly they were posted, so if you need a reliable citation, I recommend emailing the website to verify the proper citation. If you have anything to add to these listings, please send an email to Adam Hartzell at atom@koreanfilm.org. For more information about published book-length works, see Books about Korean Cinema.
