ON THE ART OF THE CINEMA (Juche)

By Kim Jong Il

A treatise by North Korean leader Kim Jong Il which proposes several original theories, which can be applied to the practices of filmmaking, the arts, and beyond. Literature as "humanics" centres on the question of a good and worthy life. In art, it emphasizes truly independent individuals who are capable of transforming society. "Seed theory" has become core to North Korean film theory. It seeks to direct all art through a single ideological foundation, the "seed". In an individual work, the seed is the synthesis of its subject matter and idea and the basis of its propaganda message. These ideas support the themes of nationalistic form and socialist content of North Korean films.
