Where is it at? Their website says it's by World Cup Stadium in Mapo-gu and lonleyplanet's map says it way farther east in Seocho-gu.

Never heard of it...do they got films with english subs?

you can watch most of the films they have at

W500 per a flick plus some freebies.

Go to the KOFA web site and click on "Visiting Us". There are directions there. I would recommend, though, that you walk from the subway station if a twenty minute (or so) walk is not too much. It's hard to find the first time as it's in the back of one of the tall new buildings but if you print out that map on the website you should be okay.

For the other poster, some of the films have subtitles (check the rather awkward website) but for subtitled films the Seoul Cinematheque in Insadong is better.

(Edit: Iwas interrupted in my writing so didn't see above post but, yeah, that's the place.)

Hmm, so what's the place that lonleyplanet is marking as Korean Film Archive? Do they have it wrong? Is that an old location...http://www.lonelyplanet.com/south-korea/seoul/entertainment-nightlife/391823

[The Goalie]

Yeah, the address in Lonely Planet is the old location.

[husker16]

Good. The new location is so much closer to me. So is it like a library where we get to check out movies or can we watch them there like a DVD bang? Also, for the poster that said you can watch the movies online, I realize that, but it's in Korean. Even when I click the English tab, when I go to actually pay for it, it's in Korean.

[georgeperec]

the system is just like the one they have at dvd bangs, you can't rent anything.

don't click 'play' on a korean page.
find your movie on http://www.kmdb.or.kr/eng/vod/vod_enMain.asp
only that way you can have the payment info in english.

the thing is though, i just found out there's no 'w500/per movie' option on the english page. it appears you can only buy either 14 or 30 days unlimited access right.

about their directions

Line 6 doesn't have a stop "Susaek" anymore. It's "Digital Media City"

Last week when my girlfriend and I was trying to find it, I could have sworn we got off at Susaek station. Anyway, it was a rainy, cold and miserable day, so we gave up.
