Dream of Chungmuro Cinematheque

The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced the release of a design sketch of the Seoul Cinematheque (tentative name), a visual art cultural complex to be built in Chungmuro, which is the center of the domestic film industry.
The ?Seoul Cinematheque? is a symbolic facility in which a variety of movies such as non-commercial, independent, artistic, and classic films can be enjoyed regardless of commercial interests. It was a long-awaited wish of the film industry and dream of Chungmuro, the first hub of the film industry in Korea.
The ?Seoul Cinematheque? will be constructed with ten levels on the ground and three levels underground (gross floor area 4,800?) on the current site of the Cho-dong public parking lot. It will be opened in February 2021.
The key point is that there are ?various exclusive film theaters? of large, medium, and small sizes (150 to 300 seats). There is also an open-air theater on the roof that can accommodate about 150 people and on the roof, non-commercial and classic films such as independent and art films, which were difficult to watch in general theaters, will be shown.

The largest theater in the Seoul Cinematheque is wide enough...
