I am trying to find out the year of production, director and
cinematographer of two North Korean films: 'Marathon Runner' and
'Girls in My Hometown'.  I know that 'Marathon Runner' (which is also
known as 'Racing to the Crown') was made in 2000 but I do not know the
year of the other film.  I own both films with English subtitles but
unfortunately these details are not subtitled.

mark06ox,

I found some of the information you're interested in:

"Marathon Runner" was made in 2000 and directed by Li Chju Ho. This
from an Ebay listing:

"Girls in my Hometown" was directed by Pak Sang Bok but I can't find
the year it was made. This info is about halfway down the page at:

Hope this helps.
