Summer School to Korea July 2011
July 1st 2011 was an exciting point of departure for eight second year
Keele University Media and Film Studies students: Emma Perrin, Holly
Fernyhough, Lewis Rymond, Chelsea Gledhill, Ibiyemi Onasanya, Stewart
Young, Kate Fortune and Fiona (Jufangyue Xie), who travelled to one of our
partner institutions - Dongguk University - in Seoul, South Korea to take
part in a four week “Korean Cinema" programme of study. Academic
highlights included studying and making their own Korean films, Holly’s
interview for the British Council, and the group's attendance at a special
lecture by award-winning (both at Cannes and the Berlin Film Festival)
Korean film director Park Chan-kyong. The group also took part in various
cultural excursions to the DMZ, a Buddhist Temple, and Seodaemun
Prison History Hall. Described as “an amazing experience” by all, it seems
that South Korea has got them hooked. Looking at these pictures, who
could blame them!
