Film buffs are in for a treat, with many Oscar-nominated films and other prize-winning works now in theatres – but that’s not all. The Projector is putting on a triple-bill screening of The Godfather trilogy this weekend as a nod to its 50th anniversary, while the top two films from Cannes Film Festival have also just made their debut. More details below.

Drama at the Oscars aside, it’s a good season for film lovers – groups of up to 10 are allowed back in theatres! You’ll want to gather your friends to catch all the ongoing screenings and new releases, especially at The Projector.

The top winners from last year’s Cannes Film Festival finally make the debuts in Singapore – we’re talking about the Iranian drama A Hero (winner of the Grand Prix) and top scorer Titane (pictured), easily one of the year’s most controversial works (where a serial killer reportedly has sex with a car).

There’s also the beautifully contemplative Japanese drama Drive My Car, which picked up the Best International Feature Film at the Oscars, and many other nominated works such as West Side Story, Belfast and more. But if your tastes run to the classics, The Projector is also putting on a triple-bill screening of The Godfather trilogy this weekend, in a nod to the series’ 50th anniversary. Explore to your heart’s content here.

Various dates and times at #05-00 Golden Mile Tower and #04-13 Riverside Point

CHECK OUT A SHOW FILLED WITH DREAMY FLORALS

French painter Gael Davrinche is the newest artist holding court at Cuturi Gallery with his new show, Fireworks. For his second exhibition in Singapore, Davrinche presents new paintings that juxtapose Japanese kimonos motifs-influenced elements with loose abstract brush strokes in order to invoke a strong sense of inner emotions.

Although his paintings are not pre-conceived nor sketched, Davrinche typically approaches them with a similar start. “I start my paintings by creating a first layer which will set the background of the work. I like to choose my colours based on a strong colour note”, he said. He then carefully paints the motif which serves as inspiration, trying to keep the balance of colours and textures. After this first step, the work needs to dry for a week or two.

From then on, he undertakes multiple “interventions”. He noted: “This is the part that I enjoy the most. A painting can be completed with one intervention, and others might need three or four. I might rework the colours and the forms instinctively. I add, remove, or super-impose colours. I flatten or add texture through adding layers of paint.”

April 2 to April 17 at Cuturi Gallery

CATCH THE FEEL-GOOD WORKS OF A TOP ANIMATOR

For the uninitiated, acclaimed Japanese animator and director Masaaki Yuasa is the first Japanese animator since Hayao Miyazaki (you know, the founder of Studio Ghibli?) to win the top animation award from the prestigious Annecy Festival.  With a career spanning nearly 20 years, he’s worked on everything from gore-horror anime such as Devilman Crybaby to children’s classics like Crayon Shin-chan and even international hits such as Adventure Time.

The ArtScience Museum is putting on a mini-retrospective of sorts, titled The Modern Fables of Masaaki Yuasa, where audiences can catch four iconic segments of Yuasa’s illustrious career.  From his debut feature Mind Game (2004) which has become a sleeper hit to his Annecy-winning Lu Over The Wall (2017), to the very enigmatic pop-culture madness of Japanese drinking culture in Night Is Short, Walk On Girl (2017), and finally capping it off with his beloved surf-pop love story Ride Your Wave (2019), there’s a bit of something for every kind of demographic.

Get your tickets here.

On now till April 18 at Expression Gallery, Level 4, ArtScience Museum
