Art of the DPRK in Shanghai

I posted the other day on the new Art of the DPRK book that is available and is part of the ever expanding Koryo Tours global domination campaign it seems. See that post for details of their book launch in Beijing – but now they’re heading to Shanghai too, so a quick heads up:

Sunday 9th August – 4PM – Glamour Bar (beneath M on the Bund) – The Shanghai book launch of Art of the DPRK – Promoting North Korean Film, will take place. The book is a beautifully put-together collection of North Korean film posters from the last 40 years, with descriptions from the official North Korean promotional material for the films as well as expert analysis about the films and posters themselves. This book is hot off the press and will be made available for the first time at this event. Simon Cockerell will present this launch and will be able to answer questions about the book and other North Korea related subjects. 65 RMB on the door includes one free drink.

And the day before:

Saturday 8th August – 2 PM – Sasha’s (11 Dongping Lu, nr Hengshan Lu) – Koryo will be presenting their award-winning film A State of Mind – the story of 2 teenage gymnasts preparing for the Arirang Mass Games. Koryo’s Simon Cockerell will be on hand to present the film and answer any and all questions afterwards. 50RMB on the door which includes a free drink.
