Comrade Kim Goes Flying (2012)
"Comrade Kim Goes Flying", a DPRK-Britain co-produced feature film, is enjoying popularity in the ongoing 13th Pyongyang International Film Festival.
The film tells about a story that a Korean girl working at a coal mine becomes a fancy flier as she hoped. The heroine of the film is Han Jong Sim, a Korean acrobat.
The movie, co-produced by DPRK, British and Belgian directors and producers, won popularity at the International Film Festival held in Toronto of Canada some time ago.
The film was screened at the Pyongyang International Cinema House on Monday.
Before its show, the British film producer, Nicholas Bonner, told KCNA that the seed of the film is "Follow your dreams".
Bonner, also head of Koryo Group in China, said that he has been in the DPRK, doing tourism and film projects for 20 years. Noting he made three documentaries, but wanted to make a film and likes the universal story of "Follow your dreams" and "Believing yourself", he said that he cooperated with a Belgian expert and amazing producers and actors and actresses from the DPRK in making a film script and directing and shooting the film. It was a wonderful cooperation, he added.
"I have been watching Korean films for 20 years and my first Korean film was the 'Flower Girl'", he said, expressing his will to further strengthen cooperation with the DPRK.
