Welcome back from recess week!! 😌✨

In spirit of Diwali, we will be screening Kaakka Muttai (dir. M. Manikandan)! 🍕 Join us afterwards in a fun game to get to know your fellow cinephiles more 🪔✨

Come dressed in your finest clothes and join us in celebrating this occasion through cinema! ⚰️🕯️

Jusqu’ici, tout va bien.. 🌀

La Haine dir. Matthieu Kassovits hits the big screen for our third screening of the semester! Then step right into a thrilling roleplaying game with us and stand a chance win prizes! Afterwards, a sharing on civil society organising!

We invite you to first ancillary screening of the semester in the exploration of documenting the unseen. ✨

Join us for an evening, where history, politics, and film intersect as we screen three films: The Globalisation Tapes (2003), Indonesia Calling (1946) and Muzak (2003) – inviting us to reflect on both the silences imposed and the voices that resist. 🌍🎬

And here comes another! 📽️

As we mourn the unfortunate closing of The Projector and Cathay in Singapore 🏛️🎬, we invite you to this week’s screening of the beautifully melancholic Goodbye Dragon Inn (2003) dir. Tsai Ming-Liang. 🐉🌧️

Come dressed in your finest funeral chic and join us in honouring the ghosts of movie houses past. ⚰️🕯️ We also welcome you to write or draw a little tribute note as a eulogy to the end of these iconic spaces. 📝

And we’re starting the semester off with a bang! …or maybe a smash!? 💥😄

Love drives us crazy, doesn’t it? 😵‍💫

And yet, we can’t stop watching the same old tropes of passionate desire, unrequited loves, misunderstandings, heartaches, and of course, the ever-complicated love triangle. So what is it about romance that keeps us watching, feeling, yearning? To kickstart the semester full of love, we present to you Challengers (2024)—a subversive take on the romantic drama, wrapped in the sweaty tension of competitive sports. 🎾💦 Come dressed in your cardigans, loafers, button up blouses, and baseball caps for Wimbledon right here with us, to play some fun games and get to know your fellow members in the new AY! 🫂👗 📍North Spine, LT1A 🗓️ 28 August (Thursday), 6.30PM

For our final screening of the semester, NTU Film Society will be screening Joyland (2022) dir. Saim Sadiq, a film which was briefly banned in Pakistan, that touches on everyday misogyny and transphobia in the inner city of Lahore, as well as the blossoming of a tender queer love story.

Synopsis: Following a long spell of unemployment, Haider lands a job at a Bollywood-style burlesque, telling his family he is a theater manager. In actuality, he is a backup dancer and becomes infatuated with a strong-willed trans woman, Biba.
