‘Bright Future,’ About Youth Festival in North Korea in 1989, Debuts Trailer as Syndicado Launches Sales at IDFA (EXCLUSIVE)
'Bright Future' goes back to 1989 when 20,000 students gathered in North Korea for an event that championed peace, friendship and anti-imperialism.
“Bright Future” goes back to the summer of 1989 when thousands of young people from various nations gathered in North Korea for the 13th edition of the World Festival of Youth and Students. At 35 years distance, it is time to reflect on these platforms that allowed youth to voice their opinion on world’s current affairs and build a more equitable society. “I wish to make a film that seeks fresh takes on the past, with stories that bring visions of worlds that shatter the easy black-and-white categories of the Cold War and raise important questions about what it means to be young, international and in solidarity, then and now.”
