Uiryeong-gun Implements Support Program for Senior Citizens' Movie Theater Outings

Going to the Market Day: Shopping and Watching a Movie

Uiryeong-gun, Gyeongnam, will implement a movie theater outing support project for the elderly at the Uiryeong Goblin Cinema throughout this year to enhance the quality of life satisfaction and happiness of senior citizens.

The 'Movie Theater Outing Support for the Elderly' is planned to allow elderly residents in rural cultural underprivileged areas to interact with neighbors through movie viewing and to gain emotional stability and vitality for a healthy life.

Last year, the county, together with the Uiryeong Senior Integrated Support Center and the Korean Senior Citizens Association Uiryeong Branch as project organizers, provided free movie viewing 17 times to 602 elderly people.

Starting this year, based on the high satisfaction of participating seniors, the program will be expanded to all towns and townships and will be promoted 2 to 3 times a month in line with the market days of Uiryeong-eup (3rd and 8th).

A county official stated, “Through an agreement with the small movie theater operator, 62 elderly people can watch movies per session according to the allocated number for each town and township. The movies screened will also be mainly those preferred by the elderly.”

Meanwhile, elderly people who wish to watch movies can apply after inquiring at the town or township office with jurisdiction over their address.
