This study aimed to know how the "Socialist Grand Family" discourse is expressed in North Korean art films. This study analyzed the North Korean art films "Our Family's Problem" and "Our Family's Problem Begins Again," which were produced and aired between the 1970s and 1980s. Through the analysis of the two films, the form, change, and content of the North Korean authorities' discourse on socialist consideration were confirmed.
To analyze the two films, the narrative structure analysis method, which is a semiotic analysis method, and Roland Barthes' two levels of semiotic analysis method were used. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the content of the discourse on the socialist grand family did not change significantly depending on the period, but there was a difference in the focus of the discourse. In addition, it was confirmed that the propaganda about the superiority of the system and Juche ideology was strengthened by emphasizing huge structures, not only emphasizing the role of the people in the socialist grand family.
