한국전쟁기 중국에서의 북한영화에 관한 연구

Abstract

This article is an analysis about the historical circumstances of film screening in North Korea and social reactions for the debut of the North Korean films which were aroused in the same period. After the liberation, the North Korean film industry was growing rapidly. However, Pyongyang was collapsed because of the airstrike of the U.S. Army right after the outbreak of the Korean War, and the North Korean film producing could not be continued ordinarily. Filmmakers in North Korea insist that they had achieved their filmmaking circumstances during the period of the Korean War by themselves with overcoming a lot of difficulties under the instruction of Kim Il Sung. But the author of this article devoted himself to investigate and reveal some hidden facts that the Northeast Film Studio in China accepted many filmmakers in North Korea and helped them a lot in terms of both material and human resources to make them produce their films from mid 1951 to late 1953. And this article also cover the fact that five North Korean art films which were produced in the period of the Korean War got huge responses after screening in China. The author analyzes those social reactions for the debut of the North Korean films aroused in China and the purpose of the active screening by Chinese government in detail. In the period of the Korean War, Chinese government reinforced nationalism, internationalism and communism. And they tried to inculcate it in Chinese people's mind with screening of those North Korean films, and we can interpret it as a strategy to get extensive support from Chinese people as the government intended right after they established the New China.
