Aim High In Creation!

About This Movie

Aim High In Creation! is a fascinating glimpse into North Korean cinema, specifically through the lens of Kim Jung-Il's vision. The film’s tone is both surreal and oddly gripping, as it navigates through the propaganda aesthetics of an era that feels so far removed from what we know. The pacing has this peculiar rhythm, reflecting both the ambitious projects Kim dreamed up and the peculiarities of how films were made under his rule. You’ll find a mix of practical effects that mirror the grandiosity intended in these productions, yet there's an oddly intimate feeling, especially when you consider the shared love of cinema that the film captures. It’s distinctive, to say the least, shedding light on a culture and artistic endeavor that’s rarely shown in this way.
