Try the Classic Outdoor Cinema Vibes of Sewon Screening!

The world might be modern now, but outdoor cinemas or layar tancap, as we call them are still beloved and eagerly awaited. There’s a growing nostalgia for the past, when outdoor screenings were part of everyday life. Watching a movie together under the stars has become rare, but the demand for that cozy, communal experience remains strong. In many places, people still long to relive those moments back when cinemas weren’t as luxurious or crowded as they are today. What makes layar tancap even more special? Most of them are completely free! Anyone can come, enjoy a film, and build connections no ticket required.

Interestingly, younger generations especially Gen Z are also showing real enthusiasm. Last year, Sewon Screening held an outdoor cinema event that was warmly welcomed by the community. It proved how much people still crave that kind of intimate, open-air film experience, especially in areas like Sewon where such events are rare. That’s why this year, Sewon Screening is bringing back layar tancap, both as a nostalgic nod and an introduction for a new generation especially the children in surrounding neighborhoods.

During Sewon Screening’s 10th edition last year, it even rained during the film screening but no one left. The audience stayed till the very end. Even after the credits rolled, the conversations kept flowing. It was a night full of warmth, laughter, and meaningful exchange. The post-screening discussions were just as exciting as the movie itself. Beyond entertainment, this program also offers film students a golden opportunity to network. Because in the world of filmmaking, nothing thrives without collaboration and connection. That’s why outdoor screenings like this should happen more often, in more places.

This year, layar tancap is coming back! Although the date and location haven’t been announced yet, one thing’s for sure: Sewon Screening only happens once a year so don’t miss it. It’s the perfect chance for a cozy movie date with your partner, while gaining new insights and fresh perspectives. Yogyakarta is full of tourist attractions and exciting events, but this outdoor cinema program is something you definitely have to experience. It’s unique, it’s atmospheric, and it’s the kind of night you’ll remember. Don’t miss out the vibe is different, the experience is refreshing, and you’ll likely make new friends too.

Bring your date, your besties, your family whoever you want and come enjoy this one of a kind open-air film night. Keep an eye on the official Sewon Screening website and Instagram page for the latest updates on this year’s layar tancap!
