On March 17, 2026, CINE21 sparked buzz on Instagram by introducing the anthology film 'Geukjang-ui Sigandeul'—first unveiled in Busan, showcased at the Seoul Independent Film Festival and the Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival, and now officially released. Created as a special project marking Cinecube's 25th anniversary, the film unites directors Lee Jong-pil, Yoon Ga-eun, and Jang Kun-jae in a heartfelt tribute to the magic of movie theaters.
The photos show the three filmmakers standing side by side, sharing their affection for cinemas rather than directly answering the question, "Can the time of theaters continue?" Through their respective works—'Chimpanzee,' 'Naturally,' and 'Time of Cinema'—they unfold personal stories that celebrate the big screen. Their candid love and passion for theaters, amplified through talks with audiences, leave a powerful impression.
