KFA UK held its 8th Film Night as part of the celebrations for the forthcoming 75th anniversary of the foundation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The film night took place on the 28 August at 1900 hours. Participating in the film night were KFA UK members from London and Staffordshire as well as KFA Germany, KFA Bulgaria, the People’s Korea Initiative of Poland and friends from Turkey..
The film ‘Myself in the Distant Future ‘ was shown. This tells the story of a young man from Pyongyang and a girl shock-brigader who strives to develop agriculture and increase food production in the far northern region of the DPRK, Taehongdan. The film is very rich in themes with several different and complex themes being interwoven such as the issue of respecting parents and carrying forward their work, of attachment to one’s local area and the struggle for self-reliance.
Participants stated that it was a “great movie, very inspiring” and pointed out “It is a tremendous thing for a labourer not to remain a simple worker, to take part in the theatre, to socialise. Which capitalist country can do this? All this requires money. Even theatre education is paid.”
The short documentary “ DPR Korea - Democratic Reforms after Liberation from Japanese Colonial Rule” was screened .
The film night concluded at 20.50 hours.
