It is considered the most authoritative work on North Korean filmmaking. The book sets forth several original theories that can be applied to the practices of filmmaking, the arts, and beyond. These ideas complement the themes of nationalistic form and socialist content of films. Many ideas presented in the book are justifications for the creation of propaganda supporting the Workers' Party of Korea's policies. ''On the Art of the Cinema'' had major political implications on the succession of Kim Jong-il as the supreme leader and formation of the Kim dynasty. Kim Jong-il gained political and cultural influence in North Korean society and government by authoring the book. Actual impact on North Korean films themselves, however, is disputed. ==Background== After his graduation in 1964, Kim Jong-il engaged in cultural, ideological and propaganda work at the Department of Organization and Guidance of the Central Committee of the party. Although Kim is known to have been privately interested in Hollywood films,〔 he intervened at the Aesthetic Review Meeting, the annual film conference. Discussion on 'foreign' film concepts was banned, and the entire conference archive was ordered to be burned. Since then, Kim Jong-il's influence in film and literary administration grew, and he resisted liberal artistic influence from the de-Stalinizing Soviet Union. From 1968, Kim Jong-il began to work on the cinematic versions of the 1930s Manchurian guerilla plays. Kim Jong-il had personally guided the production of films, such as ''Sea of Blood'', (parts one and two, 1969), ''The Fate of a Self-Defence Corps Man'' (, 1970) and ''The Flower Girl'' (1972). Afterwards, Kim Jong-il began producing revolutionary operas. In total, Kim had obtained around a decade of experience in the state arts bureaucracy by this time. He then wrote a series of essays based on speeches he had given to directors and screenwriters over the preceding five years, and published it as ''On the Art of the Cinema'' on April 11, 1973. It was his first major work. Through the rest of the 1970s, Kim Jong-il continued to oversee cultural activities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「On the Art of the Cinema」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
