Pyongyang Film Studio

The North Korean Film Studio was established in 1947. It built permanent sets to shoot pro-revolutionary films that were very much against the Japanese colonization of the country and the US presence in South Korea. Now, they are currently renovating the Pyongyang Film Studio.

Over the years, artists from the Pyongyang Film Studio were instructed to paint advertisements and hoardings to make the sets look realistic and to create a North Korean view of foreign street scenes.

The posters North Korean artists dreamt up as ‘imperialist advertising’ and previously used to make the streets more authentic are being removed.

O.K. Grand Show | Film Set Poster

This film set poster, O.K Grand Show, is used as a drop for films set in Japan, this is decadence at its least subtle.

Whilst the jazz trio in the background look innocent enough, they are clearly not working the farms, building hydroelectric plants, or otherwise bettering their nation.

As for the singer, by DPRK standards she is beneath contempt. Note her high-heeled boots, her micro-mini, and her barely-bikini top.

She is cartoonish even by propaganda standards and compared to DPRK film women, she is without substance or class.
