SHOWING AT A (COMPUTER) SCREEN NEAR YOU

Cyber movie theaters (showing “everything from Hong Kong action flicks to artsy films”) and a growing number of comic Webzines are “making it possible for Koreans to see movies and read comics with just a click.” One 24-hour site plans to show online film festivals, and Korea’s filmmakers are starting to release “for-cyber-theater-only” movies. No one, from here to Seoul, is sure whether the computer monitor will ever truly replace the big screen, but “there’s no denying that the internet is turning the industry upside down.” – Korea Herald 03/21/00
