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 TH-cam 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 TH-cam in particular and more to do with the nuances of international copyright law as it pertains to the DPRK.
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. ❤❤ 🇰🇵
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?
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.
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
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
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.
Trivia:While Boy Partisans released in 1951, the Philippines has a film about a war correspondent during the Korean War title “Korea” in 1952 which is set during the Korean War 😊😊 Korea was created by future senator Benigno Aquino, Jr. who work as a war correspondent in Korea and directed by National Artist for Film in the Philippines, Lamberto Avelliana and as of the now, the film is still lost in time 😊😊
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
I am curious, has DPRK extreme sport scene? Aggressive rollerblading, skateboarding, longboarding, wakeboarding, snowboarding, bmx, scoot whatsoever scene? I am so curious.😅
@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?
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.
Why shouldn't there be comedies in the DPRK? People laugh and need laughter everywhere!
Oustanding work! Thank you for your efforts!
NEW DPRK EXPLAINED VIDEO🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Could you talk about DPRK animations/cartoons next?
we see them on our screens, some of the most known in the west have been drawn in DPRK
Especially the ones made by SEK Animations
@@ianhomerpura8937 of course!
@@JG-xk7ve wow! I did not know that!
@@ComradeAri1989One of the Invicble seasons was unknowingly animated by a North Korean company.
I was waiting for this. A more than 30 mintute video. This is what I call peace.
That intro you used should be 100% edited to be the mew DPRK Explained intro because it just looks cool ngl lol
I watched some of these movies back in the USSR ❤
Another banger by DPRK explained. love the video!
It's great to see the evolution of DPRK films!
Order No. 27 seems to be inspired by old Jackie Chan movies.

@@clashblaster however the US doesn't recognize the dprk so their copyrights might not actually be valid in the usa

Babe, wake up. A new DPRK Explained video just dropped.
cringe....
You really need to go on The Deprogram podcast.
my favorite youtube channel by far lol
I appreciate your neutral approach to this subject.
My fave DPRK film is the Flower Girl. The actress in that movie is like a national heroine. She was on the paper currency. I forget her name.
Watch Unsung Heros, Charles Jenkins is in it, it's about the Korean War, a spy sho travels to Seoul, it's very good
I like Traffic on the Crossroads because its about washing machines for no good reason
@@bobjones1999 I watched that one.. it's a real gem.
I had no idea the DPRK has such a sophisticated and advanced film industry. These films look amazing!❤❤❤
Having despotic dictators who are also cinephiles tends to lead to that 💀💀💀
I look forward to more movie reviews please!
Thank you for making another amazing video.

Thanks, very interesting.
Amazing!
I wish you covered the 2022 movie One Day and One Night as well.
finally u r back!!!
My favorite was the family comedy. I do wonder how they could make a movie during the Korean War. The music is beautiful.
can't wait to watch these all!!
Any notable movies from 2000s?
One day One Night
Another fantastic video, the only one that looks at DPRK films objectively and without bias or an agenda. Cheers
We need some of these movies on Netflix
NEW UPLOAD YAAAAAAA
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?
I love seeing leftist anime pfps
Because of shin sang ok and his Work on hong kil Dong and Pulgasari ( and many other films)
Very good video, much better than the biased anti-DPRK Paper Will video on the same subject.

Probably used equipment from the Soviets or other Eastern Bloc country.
If anyone ever asked me what the most underrated channel is, I would say DPRK explained every time.
👍👍👍👍👍👍 as always 😁
You should make a video on actors of dprk like stage and cinema like who is their big action star or their most acclaimed tragedian
Nice Dude i am a big fan of communisim and please next video please talk about the dishes of NK
The king has returned 👑
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
13:35 I think I heard that while watching the arirang mass game clips on TH-cam. What song is it,may I ask?
Star of Korea by the Mansudae Art Troupe
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
How do you do your research on these topics?
From where do you get the footage for these Movies because im really interested in seeing them!
I haven't even watched this yet but wonder what paper wills opinion is since I believe he covered each of these movies as well
한 녀학생의 일기 (2007) is still my favorite
Can you list some links where these films can be watched, downloaded or purchased?
A lot of them are available on TH-cam :)
Thanks@@DPRKExplained
just out of curiosity where do you get your information from. the hermit kingdom is notoriously hard to get info from so its honestly interesting.

Question: What is the name of the song at the Outro ?
Traffic Controller at the Crossroads (1984 i think) is a good one too.
(Pssst, I noticed that the links in your description aren't formatting properly so they're not hyperlinked! Just letting you know.)

I am curious, has DPRK extreme sport scene?
Aggressive rollerblading, skateboarding, longboarding, wakeboarding, snowboarding, bmx, scoot whatsoever scene?
I am so curious.😅
@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?
These look great!!
Where could I watch these?
Long live the DPRK…Manse!
Dprk is the best
So are we not going to talk about the Pulgasari incident
As soon as i saw that guy breaking bricks i was hype dprk kung fu is gassss bruh
Is there any family films from the DPRK….?
Thankkkkkks
Boy Partisans seems like a DPRK version of Red Dawn.
I can't believe it, it's a TH-cam channel that's not exclusively Liberal brainrot, it's just neutral. What a breath of fresh air
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.
Should collab with studio dragon
HE'S BACK ADJFLFJSKKFAL
Where's Pulgosari?
Cinematic revolutionary zeal!!! ❤️🇰🇵❤️

North Korean movies are best Korean movies.
