I don't know of any, but out of curiosity, are you looking for production classes or something along the lines of history/appreciation/criticism?

would prefer technical classes (lighting, sound, editing, etc.) but an
cinema studies type of class would be welcomed as well.

I am not familiar with any film classes in Korea, however I took a fantastic film class last summer that was online. It covered many elements regarding film. The class was much better than I expected and I would be happy to give the specifics about the class in a pm if you are interested.

Hello edmiller2b,
I do not have enough posts to pm...yet. So I will just give you the lowdown here since you are interested. The class I took was at John Tyler Community College in Chesterfield, Virginia. It is a distance learning class, so it is done all online. The price was reasonable, and it should be starting in June. Basically the class consists of picking 2 movies a week to watch and write about in a discussion board forum as well as a formal 1 page paper a week. The class is actually an English "film" class so all the writing in the class has to be on point; clear, concise, with a formal argument backed up by the class book. If you happen to sign up for this class, I can send you the book and save you some money. I would suggest getting a Netflix account for this class because the movies are kinda of hard to find at the movie store, and even finding torrents for some of them proved impossible. Same goes for the movies in the class, if you need them let me know I have a great collection. I was actually able to take 3 film classes that counted towards my English major, which was great. Hopefully I was able to give you all the information needed to get the ball rolling on this. I highly suggest this class though, I learned so much from an online class, it was definitely worth the money and time for it.
Good Luck
