The Cinema & Transmedia Institute at Dong-Eui University (DCTI: former Visual Media Center), established in 2005, 

aims to expand the horizons of cinema studies through research combining art, humanities and technology. 

Its main research fields are documentary and experimental cinema as well as newly emerging transmedia strategies 

such as interactive cinema and VR·AR·MR. 

The DCTI is strongly oriented towards interdisciplinary research in order to lead a new paradigm of cinema studies

suitable for the era of media convergence.

It also plays a role as a hub for national and international researchers offering an opportunity

for discussion and exchange of ideas.

For this purpose, the DCTI conducts various activities, in theoretical and practical terms,

including academic conferences and seminars, publication of journals and books, 

documentary/experimental film production and photography workshops, etc. 

Since 2017, the DCTI has been administrating the University-Centered Research Laboratory Supporting Project (ASK), supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF),

for ‘Research on Post-Documentary : From Anthropological Cinema to Interactive Documentary.’​
