[SECTION]Thursday 6pm at Korean Culture Office[/SECTION]

I'm a regular at Cinema on the Park. In fact, my boyfriend and I had our first date there and keep on coming back for the quality films and delicious Korean drinks and snacks. Every Thursday night, the Korean Culture Office (KCO) screens a popular film ranging from modern day hits to past classics, and provide free snacks and drinks.

In the past, we've enjoyed some cult classics and modern drama whilst nibbling on Korean chips / cheese and crackers / chocolate, and sipping on Korean beer / spirit / wine. We've even brought our own food and drinks for a more indulgent picnic. You can sit/lie on the ground with cushions or on a chair. We always opt for the cushions to get the outdoor cinema / picnic in the 'park' feel.

In October, the theme is 'Crime Doesn't Pay'. "A life of crime can be an alluring one, the money, the power, the respect. Follow those that rise to the top of a crime affiliation, those that fall into its pitfalls, and those that manage to break free from its grasp and start a new life. Observe the affect that ones choices can make on an individuals family, friends, relationships and ultimately one's life."

Door opens at 6pm, film screens from 6:30pm. You need to book in advance calling (02) 8267-3440 or book online at www.koreanculture.org.au/regular-events/cinema-on-the-park/bookings

Before or after the screening you could also check out their exhibition. Currently on exhibition is Lee Lee Nam's Digitally Traditional - digital transformation of famous classic paintings. He is renown for digital transformation of both European and Korean paintings. Exhibition on until 24 Oct 2014.
