The related research fields can be largely divided into two. One is industrial study to develop the capability to function as an expert in various fields of the audiovisual industry, especially in planning leaning K-content IPs for global media platforms, and the other is study on policy measures to develop the content industry and realize cultural welfare and a balanced media ecosystem.
Film, Animation & Media Studies LAB Jae-cheol Moon Film, Animation & Media Studies LAB boasts the best history and tradition in Korea. It has produced the largest number of professors at domestic and international universities, and a significant number of film critics and international film festival programmers are graduates of this major. Many graduates are active in related organizations such as the Korean Film Council and the Korea Film Archive, and are also achieving good results in the film production field, including producing award-winning documentary directors. The main research areas are aesthetic, historical, technical, and philosophical understanding of film phenomena, but film studies are being expanded to include socio-cultural and media studies. In addition, we are responding to new trends by expanding the scope of research to various areas such as digital content and media art through interdisciplinary links with animation and engineering majors.
