The Projector has teamed up with events organiser 24Owls for a novel initiative –Projector X: Electric Cinema, which sees many firsts taking place. For one, it marks the debut of a film festival curated by The Projector beyond its Golden Mile Tower and Riverside Point homes, as well as the first time a cinema event is being staged at Pasir Panjang Power Station.

The line-up is quite a mixed bag – there’s the German expressionist work Metropolis, often hailed as the first great science-fiction film (it debuted in 1927), the final cut version of Ridley Scott’s cyberpunk masterpiece Blade Runner, musical classic Singing in the Rain, as well as Singapore black comedy Tiong Bahru Social Club, which stars thespian Thomas Pang as Ah Bee a simple, everyday man who accidentally becomes a happiness agent in an artificial intelligence cult community.

Acclaimed Scotch whisky label Chivas Regal is putting on a two-week creative pop-up over at Tyrwhitt Road in Jalan Besar to celebrate a sleek new elongated design for its flagship blend, Chivas 12 (which happens to also be the label’s biggest redesign in its 112-year history).

Titled I Rise, We Rise, the pop-up takes place as a creative takeover of stalwart coffee bar Chye Seng Huat Hardware with a Chivas pop-up cocktail bar on-site. Here, you’ll get to enjoy event-exclusive cocktails specially concocted by all-female guest bartenders – Desiree Jane from Sago House, Hazel Long from Junior The Pocket Bar, Juan Yijun from No Sleep Club — a nod to Singapore’s trailblazing women bartenders, and inspired by K-pop superstar Lisa who is Chivas’ new Asia brand ambassador, of course.

Alongside the bar, the line-up bridges physical and digital experiences and includes new NFT art releases, panel talks, digital gamification experiences to be played in real life, DJ and dance battles, and Chivas whisky tasting sessions. The NFT showcase is curated by creative collective Ctrl:Unit, and it’ll be debuting new works by some of the most forward-thinking artists in the NFT scene here, including Mojoko (pictured), Kristal Melson, O$P$, Jonathan Liu and 3D art specialist Aundraj Jude. There’ll also be a series of talks focusing on all aspects of NFT culture – good for everyone from complete beginners to hardcore collectors.

New multi-purpose creative space The Glass Hut is playing host to an intriguing mixed-media show by Japanese artist Sakiko. Titled Sakiko’s Secret Trip, it sees the artist debuting over 20 new works that expresses her chaotic feelings of turmoil and isolation (made all the more prominent in a nation that prioritises collective thinking and social harmony above all).

Expect eclectic performances,  fluorescent colours and subverted takes on traditional rituals accompanied by live music and dance. Visitors can also tuck into traditional Japanese summer dishes such as nagashi somen (bamboo noodles) and kakigori (shaved ice dessert).

May 7, 7.30pm to 10pm, at 195 Pearl’s Hill Terrace, #01-46A
