On the Art of Cinema: Two Juche Films from North Korea

Series Site

"In 1973, movie maniac and future leader of North Korea Kim Jong-il penned On the Art of the Cinema, the complete guide for all things film in the DPRK. Decades later, the big green book is still used by filmmakers intra- and inter-nationally to create effective and stirring pieces of Juche art, the socialist ideological core of North Korea society.

"In the beginning years of the Third Kim Dynasty – amidst a sea of cultural change – a few select Western filmmakers would get a chance to make 21st Century Juche Art of their own. Spectacle is proud to present COMRADE KIM GOES FLYING and AIM HIGH IN CREATION!, two movies that display the full fruits of international cooperation, cultural brotherhood, and the joyous, revolutionary power of Cinema." —Spectacle
