SEK Studio (Chosŏn'gŭl: 조선4·26아동영화촬영소; literally "Korean April 26 Children's Film Studio") is a North Korean animation studio, based in Pyongyang. It was registered in 1997 in order to take part at a festival of animated film in France. SEK has done work on such several animated series from Mondo TV, including Pocahontas, and King Lion Simba[1] [2], as well as features such as the science fiction epic Light Years, and Empress Chung[3].
SEK Studio employs over 1500 people[4] and subcontracts work for over 70 companies from around the globe, including Europe, South Korea, and the USA.
In his graphic novel Pyongyang, Guy Delisle documented his experience as an in-site liaison between SEK and a French studio.
