My name is Hyunji Park and I’m from South Korea. I’m a senior majoring in Media Arts and Design; with a concentration in Digital Video and Cinema and a minor in Film Studies and English. My creative interests relevant to the topics covered in Advanced Studies in Film and Media Theory are Feminism and Counter-Cinema Theory.
Counter-cinemas offer a different mode of representation as opposed to mainstream Hollywood cinemas. Counter-cinemas intentionally break the norms of mainstream film techniques, and provide ways of breaking down their illusions of reality (Rushton 21). As Virtual Reality (VR) films are available now, Counter-cinemas have had more opportunity to push the limits of storytelling than traditional Counter-cimenas could have done.
