Directed by British filmmaker Daniel Gordon, the 2004 documentary tells a story of two female North Korean gymnasts who dedicate themselves to the Mass Games. Gordon, the first foreigner to shoot a documentary in Pyongyang, sheds light on the lives of ordinary people in North Korea through the two gymnasts, apart from any political stance. In the documentary filmed in the secretive communist nation for about six months, 13-year-old Park Hyon-sun and 11-year-old Kim Song-yon practice their skills to honor their "Dear Leader" Kim Jong-il, but lead ordinary lives like people of other countries. Along with "A State of Mind", the director's first documentary on North Korea will also be shown at theaters for the first time. "The Game of Their Lives" in 2001 is a story about the big breakthrough of the North Korean national football team in the 1966 World Cup. The two documentary films are shown at Hypertheque Nada near Taehangno Subway Station and Kangbyong CGV near Kangbyon Subway Station.
Directed by Cho Myong-nam, the film tells of a pair of brothers who try to convince their North Korea-born father that his dream of unification has taken place. Kim Myong-sok (Gam Woo-sung) and Myong-gyu (Kim Soo-ro) have a father who was separated from his first family in the North prior to the Korean War, and after they find out that their terminally ill father plans to give his land to the Unification Ministry upon his death if unification is not realized, they come up with an idea to lie to him to inherit his estate.
