We Are One – Global Film Festival
Experience a film festival like never before with this 10-day global extravaganza organised by Tribeca Enterprises and YouTube. With a curation of films and panel discussions from 21 festivals, the diverse line-up includes films like Amreeka, which follows a Palestinian mother and son as they immigrate to America, and The Epic of Everest, covering the famous expedition in 1942 – both of which are making their world premieres. Films are free to watch, but feel free to give back and donate as the festival is also raising funds for COVID-19 relief efforts around the world.
We Are One – Global Film Festival runs from now till June 7 on their YouTube channel. Check out the schedule and programme list here.
Craft Alongside Resin Play
Resin Play, Singapore’s first resin school, is launching a new series of four live demos on Instagram, Resin Pouring. Led by founder Elaine Tan, each demo will show viewers how to use resin to create beautiful coasters and more.

Discounts and promotion codes for Resin Play’s products are given out during each session as well, so be sure to keep a look out!
Resin Play’s second live demo will be streamed on June 5 at 12pm on their Instagram page.
