When I traveled to London, I visited two independent cinemas: ‘Electric Cinema’<\/em> in Notting Hill and ‘Prince Charles Cinema<\/em>‘ in Soho. Even though my English wasn’t fluent and I couldn’t understand every word of the movies, my memory of first visiting ‘Electric Cinema<\/em>‘ was so good that I sought out another independent cinema in London on my next trip. I thought it would be great to visit unique independent cinemas in other countries too, and this thought led me to introduce a few small independent cinemas in Seoul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actually, there is another reason I am writing this. While it’s not in Seoul, this topic came to mind while I was watching a movie called ‘Siraat’<\/em>  at the ‘Myungfilm Art Center’<\/em>  in Paju, after hearing the news that it would be closing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

+ Most independent cinemas in Korea can be checked on the ‘Dtryx<\/a>‘<\/strong> website. (For foreigners, booking as a non-member is possible on the website, but if it\u2019s difficult, I recommend on-site ticketing<\/strong>.)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
