Seoul City Offers Free Movie Screenings Under Hangang Bridges for ‘Hangang Bridge-Theater’—Shows Set for Aug. 3rd Week Saturdays Under Cheongdam Bridge and Cheonho Bridge

Seoul’s summer nights transform the space beneath its piers into a massive outdoor theater in the heart of the city. Seoul City said Tuesday that it will run ‘Hangang Bridge-Theater’ every Saturday from Aug. 8 through Aug. 22, starting at 8 p.m., so anyone in the public can enjoy the screenings for free. Spanning three weeks at the Yeouido, Ttukseom, and Gwangnaru Hangang parks, the project offers the most direct and distinctive way to cool off for residents worn down by record heat.

Magic Turns Piers Into Screens… Three-Color Themed Film Lineup

The screenings kick off simultaneously across three locations under ‘Yeouido Hangang Park Wonhyodaegyo’, ‘Ttukseom Hangang Park Cheongdam Bridge’, and ‘Gwangnaru Hangang Park Cheonhodaegyo’ on Aug. 8 and Aug. 15. On Aug. 22, the final weekend, the finale will be held only under Wonhyodaegyo. A point to note is that the film lineup is curated with fine detail by location. In Yeouido, the Aug. 8 screening begins with ‘If We Were a Good Day’, Aug. 15 features ‘Harbin’ in honor of Liberation Day, and Aug. 22 shows ‘Victory’. In Ttukseom, Aug. 8 features ‘Cheongsul’, and Aug. 15 presents ‘The Man Who Lives With a King’ to create an emotionally resonant summer night.

Cultural Space for All Generations… Global Visitors Taken Into Account

Gwangnaru, which draws frequent visits from families, sets up the animated feature ‘The Wild Robot’ (Aug. 8) and the well-made family film ‘Wonder’ (Aug. 15) to build shared ground across generations. In particular, in line with Seoul’s standing as a global city, all screened titles support ‘English subtitles’, greatly improving cultural accessibility for foreign tourists.

Linked Infrastructure Boosts the Quality of Viewing… Accessibility Maximized With Hangang Bus

The city also prepared multidimensional benefits beyond simply watching movies. At each session, starting at 6 p.m., the organizers will distribute ‘commemorative tickets’ with high value for collectors to the first 300 people on a first-come, first-served basis. For 200 participants in the SNS certification event, special merchandise will be provided. Even the enjoyment of food and dining can’t be left out. At two delivery zones inside Hangang Park, using the ‘Seoul Delivery + Ttanggeoryeo’ app applies a sweeping discount promotion when ordering food. In addition, starting on Aug. 15, ‘Hangang Bus’, Seoul City’s new water-based transportation service, begins regular operations—turning the trip to the event venue into part of the journey itself.

Park Jin-young, head of Seoul City’s Future Hangang Headquarters, said, “It will be a romantic summer night where people can fully savor the emotion of the film, together with the river breeze that brushes past beneath the piers.”
