21세기를 대표하는 종합예술 중의 하나인 영화는 독자적인 문화권을 형성하여 거대한 산업으로 성장하였다. 영화는 패션산업과 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있다. 영화의상은 영화의 극적인 효과를 위하여 사용하는 모든 종류의 복식을 뜻하며 배우가 착용하는 의상과 헤어스타일, 머리장식, 액세서리, 신발, 분장 등은 영화의 내용 전개에 있어서 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 영화 속 주인공들의 스타일이 여성 패션의 흐름을 주도하기 시작한 1950년대에 유행하였던 영화들을 중심으로 영화의상이 담당하고 있는 역할과 한국인의 일상복이 전통적인 의상에서 현대적이고 서구화된 의상으로 변하는데 영향을 미친 요인들을 분석하기 위하여 1950년대에 유행한 미국영화의 분석과 1950년대에 우리나라에서 유행한 복식을 분석하고자 한다.

This paper examines the ways in which Hollywood feature films produced and widely circulated with the establishment of the studio system was consumed in the ethnically segregated Korean movie theaters in Kyǒngsǒng in the 1920s. Focusing on how those theaters appropriated what Hollywood represented, this paper has three objectives. First, from a historical and economic perspective, I will historicize the emergence of so-called prestige pictures and how movies became a branded product in that process. Second, I will also loot at how Chosǒn Theater, one of the earliest movie theaters in the Korean-resident area in Kyǒngsǒng who sought to be a prestigious movie palace actively exploited Hollywood brand, by foregrounding its Paramount connection, in particular. Lastly, through a close reading of weekly programmes and handbills, I will examine how these promotional print materials, as an intermediating medium, helped to supplement the audiences' viewing of Hollywood movies while creating loyal audiences.

One of the oldest chestnuts in economic geography is this: Cultural and creative industries strongly gather in large cities and this geographic concentration of economic activities leads to regional development. Of course, depending on the circumstances, such a proposition still holds good. But, under the current paradigm shift to knowledge-based economy, it may be open to question. This study aims to investigate financing and knowledge accumulation in the film industry through an alternative framework for explaining their spatial distributions, "formation mechanism of economic space." From the fact that their production organizations are formed on a project basis, project-based financing structure in the investment stage and knowledge accumulation process in the production stage form both axes of it. Film industry as the most mature industry among the cultural and creative industries does not always concentrate in a certain place (industrial agglomeration) or show metropolis-oriented preference. This allows us to reconsider our long brooding theory.

영화는 과학기술의 산물이다. 멸종한 공룡을 영화의 주인공으로 내세운 '쥬라기 공원'이나 컴퓨터 이미지만으로 만들어진 영화 '토이 스토리' 등이 바로 새로운 기술과 상상력에 탄생한 것이다. 프랑스나 미국처럼 일찍이 산업과정을 거친 나라들에서 영화가 먼저 시작되었고 과학적 기반이 두터운 나라들의 영화가 경쟁력을 주도해 온 것이다.
