Скачать или смотреть LGBT representation in South Korean film and television

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) representation in South Korean films and shows is a relatively small portion of the larger South Korean cinema industry that portrays characters or themes of LGBT within the narratives or plot. This particular topic has consistently generated discussions both in academia and in the public LGBT movements. The queer movement began surfacing in the 1990s and films were an integral part of the initial movement. South Korea is historically not a LGBT-affirming country, which bleeds into the culture, justice system and general public sense. However, recent study conducted in Chonnam National University states that the attitudes toward homosexuality are becoming increasingly positive.With the increase of social media, the public media plays one of many active players in the cultural creation and consumption as well as the way narratives are created and shared. The cinema and dramas in South Korea especially in regards to LGBT representation has steadily increased over the years. It has also been documented that the queer movement activism and the queer cinema had close connection. One of the examples of this is the Korean Queer Film Festival that began its efforts in the mid 1990s with its first opening in 1998.Beginning in 1945, around the time of the Korean War, up until the present day, LGBT representation in the media has changed and has also created discourses both within academia and every day lives.
