Singapore is stacked with film festivals all year round but if you’re about the experience as much as the quality of the film, Hendrick’s Sunset Cinema might be for you.

Back after a two-year hiatus, the festival features a total of 11 films ranging from the much-raved indie Everything Everywhere All At Once (if you haven’t watched it, what are you doing?), fashion drama House of Gucci, biopics on the late Princess Diana and soul queen Aretha Franklin (Spencer and Respect, respectively), suspense thrillers (A Quiet Place Part II) and more.

Held at Tanjong Beach Club, deck chairs and noise-cancelling wireless headphones are provided to complete this experience of watching a film under the stars – and better yet, each ticket comes with a Hendrick’s Gin & Tonic and a shuttle bus off the island. Check out the full line-up here.

On now till July 10 at Tanjong Beach Club, 120 Tanjong Beach Walk

American skincare powerhouse Kiehl’s has taken over popular dessert cafe Sunday Folks at Chip Bee Gardens for its first-of-its-kind supermart experience. The entire space has been outfitted in a cheery marigold hue as a nod to the calendula plant, which is, of course, the key ingredient in Kiehl’s long-running Calendula range.

For the uninitiated, calendula has long been used in skincare as it helps reduce sensitivity as well as to soothe irritation – which makes it a great choice for anyone with sensitive or sensitised skin. FYI, the most popular product in Kiehl’s Calendula range, the Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner, has been around since the ’60s, so that’s saying something.

Every visitor will receive a complimentary five-piece Kiehl’s sample kit and a small tub of exclusive new ice cream flavours created by Sunday Folks for Kiehl’s.

On now till July 3 at Sunday Folks, #01-52 Chip Bee Gardens, 44 Jln Merah Saga 

If you dig friendly flea markets, this is the one to check out this weekend. It is organised by creative studio Fincrafted Goods, which is best-known for being one of the earliest advocates of the upcycling movement in Singapore and for holding flea markets that have a reputation for being lively, stylish affairs.

The latest edition will see many small, independent labels specialising in various disciplines: ceramics, hand-crafted furniture and pastries. For the fashion fiends, there’s also a sizeable amount of second-hand and vintage pieces available. Get dressed up and bring your own bag for the goodies you’ll probably be picking up.

July 2 from 4pm to 1pm at #03-03A Halcyon Building, 39A Jalan Pemimpin

What did we say about Singapore’s jam-packed film festival calendar? National Gallery Singapore is putting on the fifth edition of its annual festival of international films on art Painting with Light. Curated around the theme of “Interventions in Space,” this year’s festival looks at the interactions between art and social commentary – a timely theme, given how social issues are becoming increasing contentious.

Painting with Light presents over 50 films by artists who engage with ideas about indigeneity, modernity, class relations, and other cogs of social structure. In addition, this year’s edition looks to build a more symbiotic relationship than ever before with the museum’s ongoing exhibitions.

Take for example how Painting with Light features films such as Firestarter—The Story of Bangarra (2020), a documentary on the Bangarra Dance Theatre. It explores issues of indigeneity and loss of culture – which nods towards major ongoing exhibitions such as Ever Present: First Peoples Art of Australia, the Gallery’s landmark exhibition on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art.

July 1 to July 24 at National Gallery Singapore, 1 St Andrew’s Road
