Synopsis
Before sliding into the uniform of his father, the dictator and founder of the āRepublicā of North Korea, Kim Jong II was passionate about film. He was said to have a collection of 20,000 videos, with a predilection for action filmsā¦ from the West of course. One-time director of Arts and Humanities at the Department of Agitation and Propaganda, he wrote in the 1970s an essay on the theoretical practice of how the 7th art should express the ideology in place. Jan IljƤs drew inspiration from the clear principles of the āShining Starā to create a short film composed of shots taken during a touristic trip to the country.
