[edit] North Korea animation

Does Disney really source animation to North Korean studios??

here, here, and de:SEK_Trickfilmstudio SpiceMan 20:57, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

then i'd have to say that phrasing of that section is very misleading...it implies that SEK was the main producer of those Disney movies

[edit] Division of North and South Korea

Although I understand by "Korean Cinema" one usually would think of lumping the two together, I think it would be appropriate to have a page for each section. While both countries have relatively robust film industries, they vary considerably in both quality and content. Any thoughts on how to make this work?

[edit] Name

Cinema of [Country] seems like the popular way of naming such articles, yet Cinema of Korea is the redirected page.

I put it up at requested moves since Cinema of Korea exists and has a page history. - Bobet 01:15, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

• Korean cinema → Cinema of Korea – per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (categories)#Miscellaneous "of country". - Bobet 01:10, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Voting

Add *Support or *Oppose followed by an optional one-sentence explanation, then sign your vote with ~~~~

• Support The original guideline cited applies to categories, so it isn't neccesarily relevent here, but Wikipedia:Naming conventions (country-specific topics) also says that article names should be of the form "(topic) of (country)".—jiy (talk) 18:40, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I figured I could quote the same reasoning that was behind moving the similarly named category since I didn't find the part you pointed to in WP:NC quickly enough. - Bobet 15:30, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

• Support per jiy's comment! --Lox (t,c) 15:31, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Moved. —Nightstallion (?) 09:14, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] East Asian cinema

Hi. I created the East Asian cinema template and the associated article and would like to request some input on that article from the people who've worked on the various cinema articles for countries in the Far East / East Asia, including the "Cinema of Korea" article. I think it would be worthwhile to expand the East Asian cinema article cos it's quite perfunctory at present, but I don't have the time to research each country's output as thoroughly as I'd like and I don't want to simply rewrite what you already have here. I tried putting up a request for expansion but little has happened.

My intention was to focus on the Western experience of East Asian cinema - particularly focussing on the impact and influence of the movies, directors, stars and film styles from the Far East on European and American audiences. This would include the increasing popularity of Eastern films in the West, especially box office, video & DVD market successes, but also cult figures and genres. It should also include information about collaborations and crossovers by Eastern and Western film makers.

Because of it's wider focus, the East Asian cinema article should ideally have synopses of the film industries of each East Asian country, but not just simple reiterations of what already exists in a more substantial form here.

I'm sure some users may disagree with my some of my ideas here, or have a better structural approach as to how the article should be expanded and evolve. That's cool - all I want is to make the article encompass as much scope as possible and to be a worthy place to group these diverse film cultures together. Each country should be represented, so I realise that using my intended focus may skew the article in favour of the larger industries of Hong Kong, China and Japan, which may be unwise. Anyway, any help on the East Asian cinema article would be appreciated.

[edit] Korean Movies

What about 'The Way Home' and '301/302'? Great movies!

[edit] External Links

I've cleaned up a decent part of the external links page, being as objective as possible with what's appropriate and what's not. Only one of the links that I've originally removed has been added back:

• The Top Internet community for fans of Korean movies - RUKorean.COM

While on that site, I really didn't see it concentrating enough on Korean film to really validate its presence in this section. I do see it posted on other Korean culture related pages, specifically Drama and Hallyu, and for those it seems considerably more appropriate.
