DESCRIPTION:The SF premiere of the last part of Finn's macro-political trilogy is an 
 hr.-long faux doc about a South Korean videographer undertaking a North 
 Korean art residency to help bring Kim Jong-Il's cinema into the 21st 
 Century. Inspired by the real-life story of the So. Korean director 
 kidnapped to invigorate the No. Korean film industry, the satire moves 
 through the Party-worshipping paeans (including musicals) of our new 
 official People's Artist. Following Finn's brilliant burlesque of the 
 ideologically over-determined is a half-hr. paragon of Chinese propaganda, 
 produced in lurid-red color in 1964 by their State Documentary Studio, 
 gloriously reporting on their first successful H-bomb test. Come early for 
 the last reel of Peking Duck Soup, a sarcastic Situationist send-up of 
 Stalinist power-plays in the Chinese leadership during the last decade of 
 Mao's rule. This montage anomaly, made by Rene Vienet and the recently 
 deceased Francis Deron, was a wild provocation at the '77 Cannes Festival, 
 and is a fearless example of how a collage of newsreels, kung-fu films, 
 regional pop-music, and sardonic voice-over can so smartly serve our 
 anti-authoritarian historical memory. Free plum wine with DJ Onanist! \n
