Premiering exclusively on Sundance Now in the U.S. following its premiere at New York City’s Film Forum, this astonishing, stranger-than-fiction documentary musical follows the ex-Yugoslavian -- now Slovenian -- cult band Laibach who becomes the first rock group ever to perform in the fortress state of North Korea. Confronting strict ideology and cultural differences, the band struggles to get their songs through the needle’s eye of censorship before they can be unleashed on an audience never-before-exposed to alternative rock music. Meanwhile, propaganda loudspeakers are being set up at the border between the two Koreas and a countdown to war is announced. “‘Liberation Day’ is a unique blend of politics, music and culture, offering a sharp look at current world issues through a truly original lens,” said Jan Diedrichsen, General Manager, SundanceTV and Sundance Now. “This smart content exploring music and politics, censorship and cultural differences will certainly resonate with our thoughtful Sundance Now members.” • About The Band - LAIBACH 35 years on from their genesis in the then-Yugoslavian industrial town Trbovlje, Laibach are still the most internationally acclaimed band to have come out of the former Communist countries of Eastern and Central Europe. PHOTO BY TOR JØRUND F PEDERSEN/SUNDANCE NOW The Slovenian cult band Laibach becomes the first rock group ever to perform in North Korea in Morten Traavik and Ugis Olte’s “Liberation Day,” a documentary that will screen on March 8 on Sundance Now. Founded in 1980, the death year of the country’s founding father Tito, and rising to fame as Yugoslavia steered towards self-destruction, Laibach have consistently opposed labels of any kind, be they rock, pop, techno or industrial. Self-defined engineers of human souls, Laibach can make you think, dance and march to the same music. • About The Directors Morten Traavik is a Norwegian director and artist working across a wide spectrum of artistic genres and international borders. Trained as theater director in Russia and Sweden, the notion of the world as a stage and identity as role play is never far away in his works, as well as a characteristically blurred distinction between art, activism and social issues. His beauty pageants for landmine survivors, “Miss Landmine Angola” (2008) and “Miss Landmine Cambodia” (2009) made headlines and fueled discussions across the world. He is also renowned for a series of controversial collaborations with North Korean artists and cultural authorities, as well as being an authorized cultural affairs liaison for that country. Ugis Olte is a Latvian director and editor who enjoys staying playful when dealing with serious subjects. Equipped with senses of a musician and a belief that dreams, myths and fairy-tales can be useful tools for telling any contemporary story, he has created numerous original TV formats, music videos, ads and also three short fiction films - “The Red Spot,” “KK2678” and “King Of The Wild Things.” His efforts in documentary genre have resulted in two films - “Stuck in Stikine” (2007) and “DoubleT Aliens” (2015), premiered ata last year’s IDFA mid-length competition. • About Sundance Now Sundance Now is AMC Networks’ premium streaming service, offering original and exclusive dramas, comedies, and true crime series, in addition to award-winning movies from every genre, including foreign-language and documentary features – all streaming commercial-free.

The idea of Armchair Travel took flight after Mapp and Park City Library’s Youth Services Librarian Katrina Kmak visited the University of Utah’s Marriott Library a year ago. “Like the Park City Library, the Marriott has a ton of 3D printers, a sound booth and a video recording room,” Mapp said. “We went down there because we wanted to see what else they had and get ideas.” Mapp, who used to work at the Marriott Library, reached out and secured a tour. “We were shown a bunch of new stuff and one of those things was virtual reality,” she said. “While I’m not a gaming person, I’m a big traveler and love to explore. So this pro- gram sold me on VR. I knew I totally wanted this in our library.” Armchair Travel can be used for different reasons, Mapp said. “People can use the system to explore where they want to go on their next vacation, or if they can’t afford to travel, they can still visit these places,” said Mapp, who used the program to climb the Grand Tetons and explore the Dolomites in Italy. “People can also explore the areas where they may want to buy a second home.” Many people will probably use the system for nostalgic purposes, she said. “They may want to visit the homes they grew up in,” she said. “Of course you can log on to the internet and see these places, but visiting them through VR makes it more real. “Sometimes the places you visit aren’t what you remembered,” Mapp said. “I went back to California to the house I grew up in and saw all of this development. There were buildings that didn’t exist when I lived there.” Virtual reality armchair travel trips will be held from 5-6 p.m. on the first Tuesday of the month at the Park City Library, 1255 Park Ave. The sessions are free and open to the public for information, visit www. parkcitylibrary.org.
