Jangsan-eup, Gijang-gun Hosts 'Visiting Cinema' at Park Tae-jun Memorial Hall

At the '2022 Traveling Cinema' event, over 30 elderly residents of Imrang Village are watching 'Chilgok Gashinadeul'.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] On the 14th, Busan Gijang-gun held the ‘2022 Traveling Cinema’ event at the Park Tae-joon Memorial Hall.

The ‘Traveling Cinema’ is a project organized by the ‘Busan Cinema Center’ that visits cultural underprivileged groups and regions where it is difficult to watch movies, and screens films directly. Gijang-gun applied for this public contest project this year and was selected as a target site.

About 30 elderly residents of Imrang Village, Jangan-eup participated in the event, and the documentary film ‘Chilgok Gashinadeul,’ which depicts the process of elderly people in Chilgok, Gyeongbuk learning Hangul, was screened.

The village elders who participated in the event said, “It was a meaningful time to get away from daily life for a while, gather the villagers in one place to watch a movie, and receive health consultations,” and “We hope the event will be held in our village again next year.”

A county official said, “The Traveling Cinema event seems to have been a good opportunity to revitalize daily life exhausted by COVID-19,” and added, “With the cooperation of related organizations, we will strive to discover various contents so that local residents can enjoy film and video culture.”

At the Gijang-gun Public Health Center, a health consultation program including oral examinations and blood pressure checks was conducted for the elderly before the movie screening.
