Presenting the award-winning film The Red Chapel and Canadian short Asia Trains followed by an intimate and thought provoking Q + A.
The Red Chapel: A trio of Danish comedians travel to North Korea pretending to be regime sympathizers and mount an absurd variety show. This stunt is led by the acerbic director Mads Brugger, and assisted by Simon Jul and Jacob Nossell, both of South Korean descent. Only Jacob is allowed to speak his mind. Suffering from cerebral palsy, his halting speech is difficult to translate, so he insults his socialist hosts and receives smiles in return. The Red Chapel is an unconventional, hilarious and damning peek into a totalitarian nightmare.
Asia Trains: A short film by Canadian film maker Mitch St. Pierre that follows his own unique approach to travelling through Asia unescorted.
