The Most Insidious Thing about Communist Propaganda is how subtle it is.
The Pyongyang International Film Festival is a biennial cultural exhibition held in Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea. The film festival is an unusually cosmopolitan event for a state known to be reclusive to Western contact.
The event originated in 1987 as the Pyongyang Film Festival of the Non-aligned and Other Developing Countries. As the name precisely delineated, the festival was a cultural exchange between countries of the non-aligned movement. The maiden event, held from September 1 through September 10, showed short films, features, and documentaries that were judged for competitive awards.
The film festival returned in 1990 and would be regularly held every other year. Recurrent subject matter included domestic cinema that commonly praised the high leadership such as a film shown at the 1992 film festival, verbosely translated, Glory of Our People in Holding the Great Leader in High Esteem.- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyongyang_Film_Festival
