Director of Photography
Before sliding into the uniform of his father, the dictator and founder of the “Republic” of North Korea, Kim Jong II was passionate about film. He was said to have a collection of 20,000 videos, with a predilection for action films… from the West of course. One-time director of Arts and Humanities at the Department of Agitation and Propaganda, he wrote in the 1970s an essay on the theoretical practice of how the 7th art should express the ideology in place. Jan Iljäs drew inspiration from the clear principles of the “Shining Star” to create a short film composed of shots taken during a touristic trip to the country.

Pyongyang, the capital of mysterious North Korea is built to impress. There is even no need for traffic lights in the workers' paradise. The traffic police at the main intersections rank among the most beautiful women in the world. Doll-like beauties swivel mechanically while directing traffic. They stand statuesque in electric blue uniform, short hair-cut, strong make-up and black-visored cap.
