Towards the end of the 1960s, General
Kim Jong Il
advanced an original theory on the cinema revolution and led the struggle to apply it in practice. The cinema revolution contributed to developing the DPRK’s cinematic art onto a new, higher plane.
The cinema revolution was aimed at building a cinematic art to meet the demands of the new era and aspirations of the masses by bringing about a radical improvement in all realms ranging from script-writing, direction, acting, shooting and fine arts to music.
In the course of carrying out the cinema revolution under the leadership of General
Kim Jong Il
, the historic cause of adapting to the cinema the immortal classic works created by President
Kim Il Sung
during the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle was accomplished with success. As a result, a historic tradition of Korean cinematic art was created and solid foundations for its sustained development laid.
In addition, a number of films were produced, depicting truthfully and profoundly the glorious history of President
Kim Il Sung
’s revolutionary activities and his ennobling traits. In this way, the problem of portraying the leader of the working class was resolved successfully in the cinematic art.
The cinema revolution led to a radical improvement in making films on the theme of the revolutionary struggle and socialist realities; many films on various themes and of high ideological and artistic value were produced.
Notable progress was made in the production of documentaries, cartoons, and science and education films. Innovations were also made in composition and means of portrayal to suit the features of cinematic art and sentiments of the Korean people.
As a result of the cinema revolution, the country’s cinematic art attained a new, higher level in terms of ideological content and artistic representation.
