On a cool autumn weekend,
a film festival comes to the cinema 🎬
Incheon Film Week 2026
runs October 23 (Fri) to 25 (Sun)
at CGV Incheon Yeonsu in Yeonsu-gu, Incheon.
I checked the official website’s
timetable, ticket and venue pages
and its press release (October 7)
on October 10 and summarized them here.
🎪 What Is This Event?
It’s a film festival that celebrates
Incheon as a “film city”
that played a big part in the birth of Korean cinema.
This year’s theme is
”We Are Each Other’s Future.”
Films chosen around the idea of “the future”
are screened in six sections.
The official screening list shows 24 films,
and tickets are all free.
It is hosted by Incheon Metropolitan City
and organized by the Incheon Film Commission.

🧸 Which Films Can Kids Watch?
I picked out only the all-ages (G) films from the timetable.

Most of the other films
are rated 12+ or 15+.
The official screening guide also says
entry may be restricted depending on the film’s rating.
If you’re going with kids,
check the rating before booking.

It’s free, but you must have a ticket.
