Art? Propaganda? Dubious cultural profiling? North Korean political kitsch explored…
The Juche Idea is the official state ideology of North Korea, incorporating religion, social regime and political systems. Jim Finn (Interkosmos, EIFF 2006) deconstructs the concept with irrepressible irreverence, weaving regurgitated state dogma and subversive culture-clash comedy into his fictionalised account of an artist’s experience on a Juche ‘art camp’.
