What’s Happening is The One One Four’s guide to the events in your city and others, published throughout the week, with a weekend edition on Friday.  All events are selected from our upcoming and continuing events calendar. If you have, or know of , an event  that you’d like in our guide, email all the details and any images to info@theoneonefour.com.

EXHIBITION | “Seoul, City of Movies” at the Cheonggyecheon Museum is a collection of posters, pamphlets, screen caps, and other materials from the early years of Korean cinema. You can expect insight into the national consciousness of the day, and hey – it’s a good place to get out of the cold. The event runs through Sunday and admission is free. The museum hours are 9 AM to 9 PM on weekdays, and 10 AM to 6 PM on weekends. To get to the Cheonggycheon Museum, go to Yongdu Station (Line 2), Exit 5. The museum is a 10 minute walk from the exit.

MUSIC | Digital, afro-funk hipsters, Yacht and White Rainbow, are wrapping up their tour of South Korea  tonight at Skyy Bar in Daegu. They started at Club Basement in Busan on Thursday, and played their second show at V-Hall in Seoul last night. Yacht, a boy-girl duo of triangle-fetishists formed in Portland, Oregon, plays catchy electro-dance stuff, and have a rep for mixing in art-house performances. Tonight’s show starts at 8 PM with Splitkick Sound Machine, and finishes with Yacht at 12:30. Stick around for the “DJ teamup Dance-a-thon” with Yacht and White Rainbow on at the same time until 5am. You might barely have the leg-strength to ride your fixed-wheel bicycle home afterward. The tour has been promoted by Super Colour Super (who we also thank for their Round Robin concert series). Check out their website for more ticket, contact, and line-up info. Skyy Bar is next to the Tom n’ Toms, across from Club That.

MUSIC | Round 3 of the Battle of the Bands at Ole Stompers in Itaewon starts at 8 PM. Even you haven’t been following the competition,  this rock show is a good bet because of the range of music genres on display. There’s a funk act, two hard rock bands, and one playing world/Latin music. Plus, Stompers doesn’t charge a cover, has cheap drinks, and is generally full of people in a celebratory mood. You could do worse on a random Saturday. Walking directions to Stompers: Itaewon Station (Line 6), Exit 3. Walk straight. Turn right after the Dunkin Donuts. Turn left up the first hill and walk to the top.

FILM | This is the second last weekend to catch contemporary french film at the Seoul Cinematheque. Their “French Cinema Now” program runs until November 29th and features films by Olivier Assayas, Andre Techine, Arnuad Desplechin, Bruno Dumont, Luarent Cantent, Gaspar Noe, and Phillipe Grandrieux. To find out what the films are, and whether they’re being screened with English subtitles, check out our film contributor’s well-crafted  list of films, complete with links their imdb pages. The program’s screening schedule is available on the Seoul Cinematheque website (Korean only). The venue is located in the Nagwon Arcade and is listed as “Seoul Cinematheque” on The One One Four Seoul Map.
