The project, which was suspended after 26 Dong-Eui University students and 2 professors visited Paris, France, in January 2020, has resumed after more than two years.

The project, themed ‘Changes Seen Through Korea’s Past,’ is being held at Dong-Eui University, the Busan Cinema Center, and the French Cultural Center until the 18th.

The participating teams are producing documentaries on topics such as ▲ Korean independence activist Yoon Hee-soon ▲ Korean calligraphy ▲ The Battle of Noryang ▲ The lives of Busan refugees during the Korean War ▲ Talchum and folk dances ▲ KTX ▲ Hanbok ▲ Traditional fishing in Yeongdo ▲ Busan’s traditional and modern architecture.

Choi Jun-seo, a third-year student in the Department of Film Studies at Dong-Eui University participating in the project, said, “I want to learn about new forms of content through this project and tell my foreign friends in detail about Korea’s history and culture.”

Professor Kim Yi-seok of the Department of Film Studies at Dong-Eui University said, “We will exchange and cooperate with advanced countries such as France’s universities, research institutes, and companies in ‘interactive transmedia content’ to research and develop dedicated production tools and mobile applications.”
