A view point for understanding Korean Experimental Film

The Korean experimental film, which is said to have begun in earnest by Yu Hyun-Mok and Kim Ku-Rim since the 1960's, has been expanding its base, but the research is still lacking. Until now, it is hard to find a research that suggests a clear answer about what Korean experimental films are and what experiments they are doing. Particularly, the research on the system of the early formation of the Korean experimental film genre, the relation with the past Korean art genres, the system of the light screening and the way of viewing, In the highly abstract expression of experimentation, the Korean experimental film was obscurely defined or avoided by definition, and due to its non-mainstream and non-commercial cinematic characteristics, its research and creation have been ignored in Korea, At this point, this study seeks to explore the viewpoints that can be used as basis for understanding and studying Korean experimental film genres. Experimental film is what it is and how it can be distinguished from other film genres. It also gives an overview of who started by what path, the background of the process, the type of time experiment and cooperation with other genres. I would like to place the Korean experimental movie genre in a clear place in the film research area and to identify its original experimental prototype.
