New Publications on Database of Korean Cinema from 2000 to 2006

KOFIC established the database of Contemporary Korean Cinema from 2000 to 2006, and published a book "Korean Film Database Book from 2000 to 2006".

The database the contains official titles and contacts for about 671 Korean films produced in the period and the official english and chinese names of 413 directors and 400 actors.

Originally this project aimed to provide official titles of films and English names of Korean directors and actors, which are often confused and used in inconsistent ways. But the database is also expected to make it easier to find any title by directors, actors, international sales companies and by years as well as to search filmographies of directors and actors at a glance.

The database will be accessed through KOFIC's new website ( http://www.kofic.or.kr/english ) from late this year, and the hard copy books can be obtained by contacting Publicity Manager of KOFIC, Hyun-chang JUNG.
