From the Book: Art of the DPRK

2009

Film Poster Art of the DPRK

The world’s first exhibition dedicated to North Korean movie posters, and an accompanying limited-edition book containing information about each film.

Film posters are where art and movies come together — the graphic artist encapsulating the director’s work as a still object. The posters were made for internal use or for promoting to the international market (mainly the non-alliance countries). Posters are standard sizes and printed using offset lithography on various paper types, better quality paper used for those being exported). We wanted to share these little-seen images with the world, and spark discussion around what each one says about the country’s film industry, and narratives. Our in-house publication Art of the DPRK (pictured) features a number of these posters.
