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.

Yakgodyo Face Cream

Yakgodyo is a wonderful graphic imagery promoting skin creams. Simple and effective, the black thumbs up rises from the black border of the Korean characters.

The combination of Korean and Chinese characters is to show the sign from the pre-1945 era.
