[edit] Only forty films?

What's the basis for saying North Korea has only made forty films? The IMDB lists 43, and, given the difficulty of finding information about the country, that's probably nothing like the real total. This article from 1992 [1] says it makes (or at least made at that time) eighty films every year:

Nowadays, the sprawling studio west of Pyongyang produces about 40 films annually, with six other facilities wrapping an additional 40 features every year.

If that's true, the IMDB list is only a tiny fraction of all North Korea's film output.--GagHalfrunt 22:47, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

IMDB is notoriously incomplete regarding movies made in asian countries : Japanese cinema's treatment is sort of ok, but forget about Thailand or the Philippines. As for North Korea, forget it ! Wedineinheck 10:06, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
