I imagine they are not copyright isn't a limitation to watching them which is nice. I know a lot of the old Soviet films are uploaded on youtube for free. It would be interesting to see a channel do something similar to what Mosfilm has done.
The DPRK is in fact a signatory of the Berne Convention, and so DPRK movies are protected under international copyright law just as most nation's creative works are. However, it is unlikely RU-vid would get any DMCA takedown requests regarding these films any time soon.
@@RoyalKnightVIII Since the two countries lack formal diplomatic relations, any copyright disputes between the two would most likely have to be mediated by a third party. Still, since both countries are parties to the Berne Convention, international law would require them to respect each other's copyright despite the tensions. While the US has never formally recognized the DPRK, they have since the end of the Cold War consistently treated the country as a sovereign nation and have not opposed its entry into the UN or other international organizations. The hostility between the two countries does not preclude respect for international law, and it should not be assumed that the US would declare works produced in the DPRK to be unprotected by copyright.
@EvilfisherDPRK Oh of course. The DMCA system is fraught with abuse, so even if it were true that DPRK content is not protected under US law, people could still find ways to get it struck. My argument has less to do with RU-vid in particular and more to do with the nuances of international copyright law as it pertains to the DPRK.
Special Order is straight out of Hong Kong cinema! How does a North Korean film from the 1980’s have better choreography and camerawork than most action scenes today?
Big coincidence. New video for DPRK Cinema, one week after I visited the World Oldest Cinema (Eden Théâtre), in La Ciotat, France (Frères Lumières inventors). DPRK Cinema are one of the best in World by hard good work making movies. ❤❤ 🇰🇵
I found this video very interesting and it got me thinking, how were some of these films shot? Was 35mm motion picture film produced in DPRK, were cinema cameras made there? Or were those technologies imported? Since I am photographer with an interest in older technolgies around the world, I have wondered what the average photographer in DPRK would have used and might still use to produce their work.
Thank you so much, I was eagerly waiting for this. My first contact with North Korean media was through the film "A traffic controller on crossroads" ❤❤❤❤❤
Fun fact, "The Hermit Kingdom" was originally used to refer to Joseon, which was actually isolated from the world (similar to Sakoku in Japan but even more strict). The DPRK, by contrast, has relations with 160 countries and you can freely go there unless you're from the US, ROK or Japan.
I am curious, has DPRK extreme sport scene? Aggressive rollerblading, skateboarding, longboarding, wakeboarding, snowboarding, bmx, scoot whatsoever scene? I am so curious.😅
I owned a few DPRK films that were smuggled out of the country some 20 years ago. They have a good sense of cinema but unfortunately waste it on excessive propagandist value.
As mentioned about DPRK Television on this channel, Mansudae Television was a big four television of DPRK which is airing on weekends focusing North Korean films and foreign films, mainly from China and Russia
The Korean War Film From The DPRK Is Very Good. Unfoutnately Only The Outside World Shows Movies Of The Korean War By The R.O.K (Republic Of Korea Or South Korea ) And The U.S
@30:21 is that a black guy in the north korean film? Same with @31:21. Are those people from the embassies or people who have defected? How did they get these foreign actors?
That action movie has all the staples of classic hong kong movies hard contact, no pads, no regard for safety, live locations and settings, actual stunts
