Busan Museum of Movies to Hold Special Exhibition, “Reading Korean Cinema”

내용

Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that it will hold the 2026 special exhibition “Scene & Line: Reading Korean Cinema” at the Busan Museum of Movies starting January 8.

The Busan Museum of Movies is Korea’s first dedicated film exhibition and experiential space, a cultural venue designed to help citizens explore and enjoy diverse film content—from the history and principles of cinema to genres and the production process—in an easy and engaging way.

This exhibition selects 100 Korean films released between 2000 and 2025 that have been recognized for their cultural relevance and artistic quality, and re-examines Korean cinema through the lens of film “dialogue.”

As expressed in the exhibition’s prologue—“In the moment a short sentence runs through a film, dialogue comes alive and remains in the audience’s memory for a long time”—the exhibition highlights dialogue as a “cinematic language” that goes beyond a simple script to convey a character’s emotions, the flow of the narrative, and even the society and era of its time.

Through the exhibition, visitors will be faced with questions about how dialogue shapes characters, reflects society, and becomes part of the collective memory of an era.

In particular, the exhibition features a photo zone that recreates the atmosphere of actual film sets, allowing visitors to step into the role of the main character and capture the moment of an iconic line in photos.

In addition, video content newly reconstructed from famous lines in Korean films will be screened to enhance audiovisual immersion and deliver the exhibition’s theme in a more multifaceted way.

The Busan Museum of Movies will also operate the “Saturday Cinema Stroll” program throughout 2026, screening one film each month—free of charge—on the last Saturday of every month, offering both moving stories and entertainment.

The January screening will be the musical film Hero, and the museum plans to select a variety of genres each month thereafter and present them to citizens free of charge.

Jo Yu-jang, Director General of the Culture Bureau of Busan Metropolitan City, said, “This special exhibition invites visitors to read film, society, and the times together through ‘dialogue,’ a key element that shapes Korean cinema,” adding, “It will be a meaningful experience not only for film lovers, but also for those who want to grasp the trajectory of Korean cinema at a glance.”
