Points included in this audio guide

1
Cine Mountain

Cine Mountain

Cinema Mountain is the principal building of Busan Cinema Center, designed as a mountain-shaped structure that houses both a large multipurpose theatre and a cinema complex. Stone facades dialogue visually with the LED-clad metal roofing that surrounds the building, creating dynamic tension between solid form and technological elements. What to see here includes both the main theatre and the various cinema halls within this architecturally distinctive venue.

2
Double Cone

Double Cone

The Double Cone serves as the striking symbolic entrance to Busan Cinema Center, bridging Cinema Mountain and BIFF Hill. This distinctive architectural element isn't merely decorative—it's the sole vertical support column for the vast cantilevered roof that shelters the plaza below. Its engineering is notably elegant: a single colossal pillar bears the weight of the entire structure, making it both a functional necessity and a visual anchor for the entire cinema complex.

Great Roof

Great Roof

The Big Roof forms the main canopy of Busan Cinema Center, a column-free steel cantilever spanning 163 metres in length and 60 metres in width over Memorial Plaza. Guinness World Records recognises it as the world's longest cantilever, extending 85 metres from its single vertical support, the Double Cone. The interior contains 42,600 computer-controlled LED lights that transform the undulating surface into a dynamic display visible from the Suyeonggang riverbank. What to see here includes the striking architectural engineering and the nightly light shows.

Little Roof

Little Roof

The Small Roof is a steel canopy that shelters the BIFF Theater, an open-air venue at Busan Cinema Center with a 4,000-person capacity. Spanning 70 metres with dimensions of 66 x 100–120 metres, it's one of two major cantilever structures within the complex. The innovative design provides protection whilst maintaining the outdoor cinema experience, making it a striking architectural feature of this cultural landmark.
