Free screening of 'Citizen Kane'

I Art Seoul, an arts, cultural and social events resource of free and low-cost things to do in Seoul, is offering a free screening of the Orson Welles classic “Citizen Kane” on Wednesday, Feb. 6.

Who or what is Rosebud? And who was with newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane in his dying moments to hear him utter his last word? If you don't know the answer to these questions, you need to see this movie.

The screening is free of charge, and will be in English with Korean subtitles. I Art Seoul Space is near Noksapyeong Station on Seoul Metro Line 6. Visit fb.com/iartseoul for more information.

Julien Baker hits Seoul

The American singer-songwriter Julien Baker is coming to Seoul after the Lunar New Year. Her music is best described as alternative rock or indie folk, with her playing guitar, piano and mandolin.

"I am quite shy, inside," she told Korean indie website DoIndie. "But my way of dealing with that anxiety is to be a super chipper and outgoing person-to-person. Also, as a performer I have a desire to express the feelings that I have and I love sharing that with people. But I am also terribly stricken with stage fright. The most relaxing thing for me is when people are loud and engaging, because when it is really quiet, I can focus too much on the performance. I get very hung up on if I have hit the notes perfectly or not. The more silence there is the more I fixate on those things."

She will appear at the Rolling Hall near Hongik University on Friday, Feb. 8. The opening band is indie duo Doma. Visit fb.com/hijinkxx for more information.
