초록

This paper investigates the films of Jung Jae-hoon and Lim Cheol-min, which have received notable critical reception in Korean independent film criticism during the last decade, in terms of digital experimental documentary. Here, experimental documentary refers to a kind of films predicated upon the productive intersection and cross-influence of experimental film and documentary, two categories that have largely been regarded as mutually distinct or exclusive in the light of the purpose and mode of film practice, as well as of film exhibition. In this sense, digital experimental documentary can be defined as a set of films in which digital technology plays a vital role in facilitating the hybridized exchange between experimental cinema and documentary. Through the lens of digital experimental documentary, this paper demonstrates that the films of Jung (Hosu-gil [2009] and Turbulence at Dodoli Hill [2017]) and Lim (Prisma [2013] and Glow Job [2018]) explore digital technology’s formal, aesthetic, and experiential novelties while also linking its medium-specific features to the forms, conventions, and techniques of experimental documentary that have been developed in the history of cinema.
