Filmmakers in Person!
The Reel Spirituality Institute proudly presents two cinematic masterworks on North Korea- Sundance competition documentary KINJONGILIA and award-winning short DEFACE.
KIMJONGILIA is the first film to fully expose North Korea's humanitarian disaster through a tapestry of defectors’stories, North Korean propaganda, and original performance. This feature documentary shows why the defectors fled, describes their hair-raising escapes, and recounts the dangers they face in China, hunted by Chinese as well as North Korean police.
DEFACE tells the dramatic fictionalized story of a man who defaces North Korean propaganda art as an act of rebellion. Filmmakers Kenny Saylors and John Arlotto, will be in attendance with veteran journalist Mark Niu, who has traveled to North Korea twice to conduct field reports.
