GFF Liberation Day

When the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea invited a western rock band to play in their country for the very first time, they chose Slovenian metal band Laibach. The potential culture clash couldn’t be more extreme as a totalitarian regime plays host to a band notorious for their deadpan cover versions of songs from The Sound of Music and their supposedly ironic obsession with fascistic and military iconography. The result is a funny and thoughtful documentary that winds up revealing more about life in Kim Jong-un’s North Korea than you could possibly have imagined.

Also screening on Fri 17 Feb, 6.15pm
