Join us for free screening of an urban transport documentary

Any plans for 20 April? Join the Green Movie Nights in Seoul for the screening of the documentary Bikes vs. Cars. I will participate and discuss what lessons the documentary has for Korean cities.

The screening is on Saturday, 20 April, from 2 to 4:30 pm at the Seoul Global Cultural Center (Myeongdong, Seoul).

The documentary shows urban mobility issues through the examples of Sao Paulo, Los Angeles and Copenhagen. The discussion afterwards will talk about how these issues look like in Seoul and how urban mobility can be improved in Korean cities.

The event is for free and everybody is welcome! You can find more information on the Facebook event page and make sure to register here: https://bit.ly/2FFHPuu

Here are the event information by the event organizers in Korean and English:

자동차에 점령당한 대도시에서 자전거를 타고 다닌다는 것은 어떤것을 의미할까요?
넘치는 자동차와 매연, 교통 체증으로 가득한 서울도 코펜하겐 같은 자전거를 타는 사람들의 천국이 될 수 있을까요?

스웨덴 출신 Fredrik Gertten 감독의 다큐멘터리 영화 <Bike vs. Cars>는 브라질 상파울로와 미국 LA, 덴마크 코펜하겐 등지에서 도시를 점령한 자동차에 맞서 자전거로 변화를 일으키고 있는 사람들의 노력을 조명하면서, 자전거가 주류가 될 수 없는 정치 경제적 권력 구조를 조명합니다.

이번 상영회를 통해 매연과 교통 체증이라는 ‘어쩔수 없는것’으로 받아들였던 도시의 교통 문제를 함께 생각해보고, 어떠한 변화를 함께 일으킬 수 있는지 고민하는 시간을 가져보려 합니다.
영화 상영 후에는 녹색 교통 전문가 Nikola Medimorec과 함께하는 Q&A 시간도 마련되어 있습니다.

What does it mean to cycle in a city like Seoul flooded by cars?
Can Seoul become a bike-friendly city like Copenhagen?

<Bike vs. Cars>, an award-winning documentary by Fredrik Gertten depicts struggles by cyclists in Sao Paulo, LA and Copenhagen to induce fundamental changes in these mega cities dominated by cars and political economy systems that support it.

This screening event is organised as part of the Green Movie Nights series which started in October 2018, to create a community of people who are aware of environmental issues and willing to act together for changes in our city life.
After the screening, a Q&A session will be organised with Nikola Medimorec, a green transport expert based in Seoul, to discuss transportation issues in Seoul and what we can do about it.
