Popcorn Pop-up Cinema: Girl Rising

For something thought-provoking, watch this film telling the tragic tales of nine girls, each from different parts of the world facing a gruesome injustice. Hear, for yourself, how arranged marriages, child slavery, and other corruptive exploitation forms are still very much prevalent in many societies. Despite their struggles, Girl Rising is very much about these brave girls rising to the occasion and breaking barriers, thus making a true difference in their lives.

Pop-up Cinema: Girl Rising will be happening at Workcentral Singapore on Tuesday, August 24 2018 from 6.45pm – 9.15pm. Click here to purchase tickets.

Singapore Night Festival 2018

Returning for its 11th edition this year, bask in the glory of thrilling performances and outstanding light installation presentations at the Singapore Night Festival. Imagine bursts of electricity spewing out from a 5 metre tower, a phenomenal sight that instantly leaves festival-goers in a state of awe. We also see local artists and groups involved last year making a comeback with their soaring harmonies.

The Singapore Night Festival 2018 will be happening from 17 to 25 August 2018 at Bras Basah Bugis. Admission is free.
