The Korean Art Film Studio (Korean: 조선예술영화촬영소), also known as the Pyongyang Film Studio, is a film studio and production company in Pyongyang, North Korea.[1][2] Founded in 1947 as the National Film Studio, it is the largest North Korean film studio,[3] covering an area of over 1 million square meters.[2][3] It has around 1,800 employees and is run by North Korea's Ministry of Culture.[3]

The studio's debut was My Home Village (1949), the first ever feature film produced in North Korea following its establishment.[2][3] According to Koryo Tours, the Korean Art Film Studio has since been involved in the production of hundreds of North Korean films.[1]
