Defilada

Defilada The Parade is a Polish 1989 documentary by Andrzej Fidyk. It focused on the cult of personality in North Korea, and was shot in 1988 on the 40th anniversary of the states founding by Kim Ilsung. Despite its antitotalitarian message, it has received praise from North Korea itself.

The documentary is primarily composed of declarative statements, as well as texts of North Korean newspapers and books. There was no authors commentary. Fidyk commented that he and his team were likely the most disciplined foreign team of filmmakers in North Korea, as they did not trouble the regime by looking under the surface they were content with what they were given and asked to do.In North Korea, the documentary, upon its release, was officially praised, as it contains only officially approved footage and materials. However, the documentarys real aim, widely recognized abroad, was to condemn the totalitarian regime, through shocking contrasts of official images, and documenting artificial behavior of the populace. The message is conveyed not through commentary, but through footage, montage and content selection. Following the official guidelines, Fidyk winks at the viewer, showing the falseness of the setting. ........
