Comrade Kim Goes Flying 김동무는 하늘을 난다 2012 -North Korea

The 2012 feature film, Comrade Kim Goes Flying (김동무는 하늘을 난다) is a very interesting film, not only because of its storyline but also the background story to how this film was created. Comrade Kim Goes Flying is the first of its kind. It is the first film to be Western-financed but filmed entirely in North Korea.This film was born from the joint creation between Belgian director, Anja Daelemans, British director, Nicholas Bonner, and Korean director, Kim Gwang Hun.  

Aside from the numerous North Korean documentaries I have watched through out the years, this is the first fiction film I have ever seen from this country, and it was exciting to see something different. I was able to view it at a screening with one of the directors, Nicholas Bonner who spoke about how it was to create this film in a country that is typically very off limit to outsiders. (more on this later).
