INDIE SPACE
A Non-Profit Community Cinema for Korean Independent Film Since 2007
INDIE SPACE is Korea’s first non-profit community cinema dedicated to independent film. Since opening in Seoul in 2007, it has served not simply as a screening venue, but as a place where Korean independent films are exhibited, discussed, challenged, and sustained in public. It is a cinema for premieres and rediscoveries, for criticism and conversation, and for the encounter between filmmakers, audiences, researchers, critics, and film communities.
Built by the Community
More than a movie theater, INDIE SPACE is built and maintained through collective support. After closing its doors for the first time, it was reopened in 2012 through public fundraising by filmmakers and audiences. That spirit of collective ownership remains visible today: INDIE SPACE continues to be sustained by donations, including its Nanumjari Seat Sponsorship, through which supporters sponsor individual seats and leave their names on the plaques attached to them. In this sense, the theater is not only a site of exhibition, but also a material record of the community that has chosen to keep it alive.
A History of Resistance
INDIE SPACE was systematically targeted during South Korea’s infamous ‘cultural blacklist’ scandal, a state-directed campaign of suppression. Official materials and the blacklist white paper documented INDIE SPACE as a primary target for prolonged surveillance and systemic exclusion from public funding. This included the deliberate suppression of politically contentious screenings, such as the documentary The Diving Bell (The Truth Shall Not Sink with Sewol). The history of INDIE SPACE is, therefore, inextricably linked to the broader struggle over freedom of expression, resistance to institutional control, and the public life of independent cinema in South Korea.
Over the years, INDIE SPACE has endured through closure, reopening, and relocation. It opened in Myeong-dong in 2007, was reopened in Gwanghwamun in 2012 through civic support, moved to Seoul Cinema in Jongno in 2015, and began a new chapter in Hongdae in 2022—operating within a commercial multiplex complex for the first time while strictly continuing its independent mission. Its history is one of persistence: the repeated effort to secure a public place for independent film within a changing and often unequal film culture.
What INDIE SPACE Stands For
INDIE SPACE is a gateway to Korean independent film. It presents works that often remain outside the dominant circuits of commercial exhibition and gives public life to films that require time, context, and conversation. It is committed to the idea that cinema is not exhausted by consumption, and that the value of film also lies in criticism, collective viewing, and the creation of new publics around moving images.
It is also a platform for audience participation. At INDIE SPACE, audiences are not understood merely as ticket buyers, but as readers, writers, programmers, discussants, and members of cine-clubs. This participatory understanding of spectatorship continues through its writing initiatives, newsletters, support structures, and community-based programming.
At the same time, INDIE SPACE is a place for criticism, research, and public reflection. It seeks to widen the field of questions around Korean cinema by bringing together creators, audiences, scholars, and critics, and by treating the theater as a space where cinema can be interpreted as well as shown.
Program Areas
- Premieres: INDIE SPACE remains a first point of contact for new Korean independent films. Through regular theatrical screenings, filmmaker talks, and premiere-oriented encounters with audiences, it introduces contemporary works at the moment they begin their public life.
- Curation: Curation is one of INDIE SPACE’s defining strengths. Across its programs, it presents shorts, animated films, documentaries, experimental films, fiction features, and hybrid works, demonstrating that Korean independent cinema cannot be reduced to a single form, genre, or industrial category. Its selections reflect the breadth, heterogeneity, and formal vitality of non-mainstream Korean film culture.
- Festivals: INDIE SPACE develops festival programs that expand neglected or emerging scenes. The Banjjak (Sparkle) Documentary Festival, organized with documentary creators, is a non-competitive festival for mid-length and short documentaries seeking to revitalize the genre and reconnect filmmakers with audiences. Summer Pride Cinema, presented with the Seoul International Pride Film Festival, brings queer cinema and related conversations into the theater as a recurring summer program.
- Discourse: INDIE SPACE treats the theater as a place for criticism, research, and thought. Questions on Korean Cinema brings together researchers and critics to reconsider the histories, margins, and unresolved questions of Korean film culture. Speaking About Film develops sustained public lectures around selected works, while INDIE SPACE’s support programs for film critics and researchers foster new writing and scholarship around independent cinema.
- Community: Audience participation remains central to the theater’s identity. Through Hear Me Out: Cine-Club!, INDIE SPACE invites active or newly forming cine-clubs to realize their own screening programs in the theater, combining films with talks and events while receiving screening opportunities, budget, and publicity support.
- Alliance: INDIE SPACE also works as a hub of solidarity within the independent film ecosystem. It collaborates with organizations and festivals across the field, including Korean Independent Film and Video, the Seoul Independent Film Festival, the Women Directors Network, and the Seoul International Pride Film Festival, through screenings, showcases, touring programs, and special initiatives.
Today
Today, INDIE SPACE is located on the 8th floor of Wisepark in Hongdae, Seoul. It continues to function as a living platform where Korean independent films are not only screened, but discussed, researched, remembered, and connected to new communities. A rarity even by international standards, INDIE SPACE is a cinema that was reopened through collective support and remains sustained by the community that it serves.
