This thesis diachronically handled the history of film exchange/relation between North Korea and Japan from 1972 to 1994. In this period of time, the film exchange between both countries faced a new situation while the existing aspect was continued such as Japanese film-related people’s visit to North Korea and the screening of North Korean films in Japan. After the North Korean film-related people’s visit to Japan in the 1970s, the spatial limitation of film exchange between North Korea and Japan was resolved. And it was led to the film exchange aspect of new combination such as jointly-produced films between North Korea and General Association of Korean Residents in Japan, jointly-produced films between North Korea and Japan, and screening of North Korean films in Japan. Meanwhile, North Korea that selected the socialist constitution in 1972, established the supreme leadership system of Kim Il-Sung and the succession system of Kim Jong-Il, and then the works that praised Kim Il-Sung just like ‘films that represent the image of leader’ were intensively produced. Such films describe the history of Kim Il-Sung’s struggle against Japan, and Japan(Japanese) are represented as the target of struggle just like the previous time. Meanwhile, however, just like the jointlyproduced films with the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan, the positive representation of Japanese people was newly formed. As a result, the representation of Japan(Japanese) that was unitarily standardized in North Korean films for a long time obtained the three-dimensional aspect.
