Why it matters now

Saturday, October 10 is 'Hangang Kids Movie Night', listing How to Train Your Dragon and F1 The Movie; Sunday, October 11 features a reading quiz for up to 100 elementary students in grades 3–6. Exact movie start times, subtitles and seat access, and the quiz's registration availability have not been verified. Festival hours 13:00–20:00 are NOT the movie times. This weekend's venue is Gwangnaru's lawn south of Gwangjingyo Bridge, not Friday's Jamwon site. The park's official transit page lists Cheonho Station exits 1/2/10 and Amsa Station exit 4 as routes to the park, but walking time and a completely step-free route to the festival lawn are unverified. Recheck weather and registration notices before leaving.
