MISS BARBER

Hand-painted North Korean posters are still used to promote screenings around the country. However, as they were only ever intended as temporary works (to promote local screenings) the condition and quality of the original versions is rather poor.

THE GAME OF THEIR LIVES

More than just a football film… The first film to have official access to ordinary North Korean citizens.

It is a tale of struggle and success and the beauty of sport crossing cultural barriers. The story of how an unfancied team from a Communist country arrives in England at the height of the Cold War; not only adopted by the local townspeople of Middlesbrough but also ends up winning the hearts of the whole country.
