We knew it, and now the world does too. Singapore has officially landed a spot on Time Out’s list of the world’s most beautiful outdoor cinemas – coming in hot at 11th place, thanks to the stunning Hendrick’s Sunset Cinema. With its breezy beachfront setting at Tanjong Beach, pre-show live DJ show, coastal cuisine from nearby Tanjong Beach Club, immersive silent disco-style experience, and free-flow vibes, it’s no surprise this alfresco film affair always sells out. Top spot went to Sydney’s WestPac OpenAir – we’ll happily concede to a cinema with front-row views of the Opera House and that unbeatable Aussie sunshine.
While this year’s edition of Hendrick’s Sunset Cinema has already wrapped, there’s good news for cinephiles craving that under-the-stars kind of movie magic. The team behind the seaside screenings is bringing back its sister event: Films At The Fort, an open-air cinema experience set against the lush, green backdrop of Fort Canning Park.
The event runs from August 21 to September 7, with a nightly lineup of acclaimed films and cult classics. This year’s buzz-worthy titles include The Life of Chuck, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, F1: The Movie, and all-time greats, including 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Shawshank Redemption.
Instead of deck chairs, you get space to spread out your picnic blanket and settle in under the trees. You can also rent backrests for maximum comfort. Food-wise, you're in for a treat as The Prince, Firangi Superstar and Neon Pigeon come together to curate a menu that includes sweet and savoury popcorn, juicy beef burgers, flavourful kebab dishes, ice cream sandwiches, and more.
Sounds like a dream? Get your tickets to Films At The Fort here before they’re all gone.
