Gochang Culture and Tourism Foundation (Chairman Shim Deok-seop) announced on the 29th that it will take over the operation of Dongri Cinema starting January 2024.


Opened in 2014, Dongri Cinema has two screening rooms with a total of 89 seats (58 seats in Hall 1 and 31 seats in Hall 2), as well as a concession stand and a caf?-style lounge area, making it a local leisure and cultural space visited by about 30,000 residents annually.

The movie ticket price is 7,000 KRW, offering movie viewing benefits from 9:30 AM to 11:00 PM.


At the ‘Small Cinema Special Exhibition’ held last December, 13 films were screened for free along with cinema talks, receiving great response from the residents.


A foundation official stated, “We will strive harder to create a Gochang without cultural blind spots by alleviating the diverse cultural thirst of residents who want to watch movies and increasing their cultural enjoyment rights.”


Meanwhile, Dongri Cinema will be closed until January 9 next year and will resume operations from January 10.
