우리가 불타면
Producer
송환법(범죄인 인도법)으로 촉발된 홍콩 시위대의 투쟁은 지난 2019년 7월 1일 입법회 건물을 점거하면서 하나의 변곡점을 맞았다. 뜨거웠던 지난 여름, 당시 현장을 함께 지킨 카메라가 담아낸 날 것의 장면들과 입법회를 점거하던 순간의 장면들을 고스란히 담아낸 의미 있는 기록. 이후의 과정을 여전히 담고 있기 때문에, 이번에는 제작단계의 버전을 공개한다.

The Great North Korean Picture Show
Director
Welcome to Hollywood, Kim Jong-il style. For the first time, foreign cameras are allowed into the world’s most secretive state’s only film school. In a country where film is a vital propaganda tool, not entertainment, what room is there for artistic expression? Very little. Filmmakers James Leong and Lynn Lee follow two young actors and a director, handpicked by the regime to become stars, as they hone their craft. Every scene of implored love for the state, each painstaking rehearsal, even a surprise lesson in how to frame a portrait of Kim Jong-un raises the question of whether a gun, either literal or metaphorical, is pointed at the actors from the ever-watchful sidelines. We are never certain whether its rank and file toe the party line with anything like the willingness evinced by the privileged protagonists. Searing critique, objective observation or just fantastic fun, this is an irresistible glimpse behind barbed wire.
