Seoul is transforming the walls of a landmark performing arts center and the underside of a bridge over the Han River into free outdoor movie theaters, betting that unusual venues will draw residents into the city's growing nighttime cultural scene.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government said Thursday that it will host two outdoor cinema programs using its media art exhibition platforms at Gwanghwamun and Nodeul Island.
The first event, "Sejong Courtyard Cinema," is set for Saturday at 8 p.m. at Atelier Gwanghwa, where the exterior wall of the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts will serve as a giant movie screen.
The featured film will be the family animation "Little Amelie."
