Zhang Yimou to teach at Dankook University.

This is interesting news, from the Korea Times, which says the acclaimed director will be with the school for two years.

``I would like to bring the two cultures of Korea and China together through discussion with Korean students and artists,'' Zhang was quoted as saying.

The director will hold two lectures under the tentative title ``Literature and Images, the Reality of Cultural Contents,'' and also attend a seminar for experts and professors in the film industry.

Kim added that Zhang had to refuse last year due to his busy schedule as the director for the Olympic Games, but managed to fit the post in his schedule for the next two years.

I wonder if his lectures will be given through an interpreter, then. I wonder, too, if they actually asked him to come work in Korea the same year he was directing the Opening Ceremony.
