You Go Korea !

            Every two years an international film festival is held, and it's going to be taking place in North Korea. Koreans are going to get to see many foreign films from Germany, Britain, Spain, Middle East. and practically from everywhere except America. For the picture displayed is a shot of one of the films that are going to be featured called "Comrade Kim Goes Flying" and another film that many are looking forward to is "Meet in Pyongyang" which is part of a Nort Korean- European production that worked with a Chinese studio. Who would of known Korea is film crazy. This recent year, leader King Jong II died in December and he actually loved films. In a interview Choe acknowledge that the main purpose of North Korea cinema is propaganda,  Choe Hung Ryol is a well known director in Korea.

         The article is based on an international foreign film festival taking place in Korea where basically all these other countries group up except America. I chose this article because I think foreign movies are awesome and Korea isn't the first country that comes to mind when I think about films and that's great for them to expose their creativeness. I'm impacted as a student because not only am I learning of activities that go on in America but also around the country and I get to learn about foreign director like Choe Hung Ryol. I believe America should be part of this as well.
