It’s been a big few years for South Korean cinema, with Parasite last year becoming the first foreign-language film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture, and
Space Sweepers dubbed the first South Korean space blockbuster becoming a hit when it was released on Netflix last month.
Even before the pandemic, and especially during the pandemic, there’s been a lot of discussion about theatrical windows the question of how much time should pass between a movie’s theatrical release and its debut on streaming or other home videos.
Over the years, the windows have gotten shorter and shorter. When Netflix began making blockbuster movies, it would put them out in theaters three or four weeks before their arrival on the streaming service, causing movie theater chains to refuse to show those films.
Korean Film Wears Brave Face at Berlin Market

Triumph and pain were bedfellows last year for the Korean film industry. But Berlin’s European Film Market and the imminent Hong Kong FilMart see Korean companies putting on a brave face.
Korean cinemas were in defensive mode early on in the coronavirus pandemic, as a population familiar with epidemics chose to stay away from crowded places. Social distancing regulation caught up and then was wound down again in summer. That allowed for the successful theatrical releases of “Deliver Us From Evil,” which scored $34.4 million, “Peninsula,” which grossed $29.5 million and the year’s top Hollywood film “Tenet” ($16.4 million).
2020 was rough, there’s no denying it. And with the beginnings of 2021 faring only vaguely (if at all) better, it’s increasingly difficult to come to terms with this pivotal moment in time.
One of the industries that continues to feel the brunt of the Covid-19 effects is, of course, the performance arts, whose livelihood depends largely on crowds of people coming to watch performers do their thing.
On the weekend of 19-21 February, South African theatre-makers and dancers, gathering in Stellenbosch for the Take-a-STAND Dialogues, engaged in a series of discussions about the present and future status of theatre and dance in South Africa. Presented by SU Woordfees and STAND (Sustaining Theatre and Dance) foundation, the dialogues were an attempt to rekindle, at least partly, a community that has been splintered in the last year.
