Abstract
During the past decade South Korea, Japan, and China have made significant strides in international film exports and their film industries have often been utilized as tools of cultural diplomacy. Lovric analyzes some of the most successful government policies, compares common cinematic themes in popular national films, and evaluates films’ soft-power potential in advancing diplomatic agendas. By examining the dominant cinematic narratives and offering a brief historical overview of their respective film industries, he traces the most common trends and explores how popular films shape the perception of producers’ culture abroad. The issues of soft power and its implications for the relationship between the dominant genres and the idea of a nation are discussed.
