Fillum Shows and Fun

Well, so far I have missed every film I wanted to see in the Independent Film and Video Festival (will try to get tickets to see the Plympton and Zombie Nurse shows at Cinecenta tomorrow), but it could be worse:

Ten-day Film Show Opens

Pyongyang, February 9 (KCNA) -- A ten-day film show opened to celebrate the birthday of leader Kim Jong Il (February 16). Shown in this period will be Korean documentary films including "February 16, Greatest Holiday of Nation" and "Holding Great Brilliant Commander in High Esteem", which tell about the feats performed by Kim Jong Il leading the Songun revolution. To be screened also are feature films depicting the indomitable struggle of the Korean army and people such as "Battalion Commander of Ridge Chol," "People of Jagang Province" and "Ten Party Members Today."

An opening ceremony was held at the People's Palace of Culture Tuesday. Minister of Culture Choe Ik Gyu made an address at the ceremony. At the end of the ceremony the participants watched the documentary film "Bringing about Great Change in Fields on Outskirts of Pyongyang" and the feature film "Bouquet of Dandelion."

Oh yeah, and they have nuclear weapons too!

Meanwhile, here is a display of Kimjongilia, the special begonia that is North Korea's national flower:



Don't forget, February 16 is the Great Leader's birthday. Hmm, it's my goodie day at work that day, maybe I will bake a cake.

Well, I was thinking of a bust of the Dear Leader made out of chopped grass, ground-up roots and sorghum molasses, complete with a pair of my huge old eyeglasses, but by the time I finished explaining the joke, my audience would have lost interest.

Got those Mao bags! Thanks for the tip. How are you?
