Geo-cultural Foundation for the Formation of Northeast Asian Film Culture

Geographic effect is an extremely important factor that affects the formation and development of a civilization. Northeast Asia, including China, Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Russia (the Far East and Siberia) and Mongolia, is a cultural concept formed by geopolitics. As an important part of spiritual culture, the films in Northeast Asian countries originate from the unique geographical features, economic systems and values of Northeast Asia. They have a long history of film culture communication and exchange and jointly form a film culture community in Northeast Asia. Geographic effect is an extremely important factor that affects the formation and development of a civilization. Northeast Asia, including China, Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Russia (the Far East and Siberia) and Mongolia, is a cultural concept formed by geographic relations. As an important part of spiritual culture, the movies in Northeast Asian countries originate from the unique geographical features, economic systems and values of Northeast Asia, and had a long history of film culture communication and exchange, forming a cultural community of Northeast Asian film together. The author believes that from the economic structure point of view, countries in Northeast Asia have the idea of economic integration and specific implementation policies. Northeast Asian regional economic integration has taken shape and constitutes the economic basis of northeast Asian film culture. From the perspective of film policy, countries in Northeast Asia have formulated effective policies on film cooperation and long-term cooperation in filmmaking to form the driving force behind the film culture in Northeast Asia. From the perspective of spiritual cultural core, the strong cohesion of the Confucian cultural circle and the historical long-term film and cultural exchanges have allowed Northeast Asian countries to form a common spiritual bond. The other culture perspective of the Western culture has also given Northeast Asian film culture a holistic image. Of course, at present, the film cooperation in various countries in Northeast Asia also lacks the deviation of policy support from other countries and the deviation of policy direction. There are also differences in culture among different countries. However, the author believes that the common oriental cultural background and the needs of market cooperation will promote the formation of a cultural community in northeast Asia.
