Published 4 months ago
Description
From the closure of iconic cinemas like Cathay to the rise of streaming platforms, Singapore’s movie-going culture has changed dramatically. Yet audiences are still turning up for communal experiences like classic film screenings and local storytelling.
Let’s Talk, Singapore is joined by Ben Slater, curator of Classics at Capitol and Annette Lee, writer-director-actor of Dream Stall to discuss the future of cinema in Singapore, why nostalgia is making a comeback, and whether the big-screen experience can still survive in a digital world.
