Indoctrination’s insidious mechanisms are exposed in this impressionistic essay that observes life in a small Russian industrial city and how—even in seemingly benign situations—the state’s ideological structures grasp control of its youngest citizens.

Description

This short film is streaming with Immortal.

Former North Koreans recount their experiences watching forbidden foreign films and how these informed their perception of the outside world. Speculating solely from these illegal movies, fiction takes on a surprising new form, where reality, imagination and plausibility meet the unknown for both the North Koreans looking out and westerners looking in. Angie Driscoll
