Abstract

In this study, we focus on the Korean Film Council (KOFIC)’s film education policy research since the 2010s. Our examination delves into the policies aimed at revitalizing film education for the general public by highlighting their significance and identifying limitations, and ultimately proposes a new plan. Initially, KOFIC’s film education policy research is noteworthy for its role in making film education more accessible to the public. Achievements include the establishment of a film education curriculum and the operation of a film education focus school. However, certain limitations exist. The implementation capacity to support the research findings was insufficient, and the film education focus school was discontinued without the possibility of further expansion. Additionally, there is a sense of regret regarding KOFIC’s perception of film education, which remains predominantly at the industry level. A shift in policy is therefore imperative to rejuvenate film education in the future. The proposed changes are as follows. First, focus should be on policy research and textbook development, effectively utilizing currently available resources. Second, efforts should be directed toward establishing a robust network of teachers and lecturers involved in film education. Third, a fundamental shift is needed in the perception of film education. By implementing these changes, we aim to address the shortcomings identified in KOFIC’s film education policy and pave the way for a more comprehensive and effective approach to public film education.
