+100 social creds.

In this day and age, where going to one hipster event equates to scoring a hundred social currency, it certainly isn't surprising to see an invasion of said events filling up Singapore's programme calendar.

Not that we are complaining though.

These trendy happenings are definitely enlivening the local scene and giving us more reasons to go out instead of simply staying in bed and binge watching an entire season of Terrace House on Netflix.

So if you need to take a break from the reality show's polite, head-nodding characters (heh), perhaps the following event would entice you to step out of your home.

It's essentially a boozy movie screening event on the coast of Sentosa.

Set to take place over two consecutive weekends from May 5 to 14, Sunset Cinema will be a balmy gathering situated on the glorious sands of Tanjong Beach Club.

To enhance the relaxing coastal feels, beach deck chairs will also be laid out along the shore for event-goers to lounge in.

The silent part

Silent discos are so yesterday. We reckon this first-ever silent cinema will be the next in thing in Singapore.

Noise-cancelling headphones will be given to every film-watcher, which means they can expect a thoroughly immersive experience without some annoying screwdriver-munching nuisance behind them.

 

The film programme part

If you think Sunset Cinema will be screening over-played reruns like The Notebook or Forrest Gump or something, you're wrong.

From the looks of it, the movie line-up seems pretty promising, with newly released shows like sci-fi flick, Arrival, and biographical film, Lion, in the mix.

And as if that's not enough, the show timing of 7.30pm means that the motion pictures will be shown against a panoramic twilight backdrop.

(Maybe if you pray hard enough, the weather gods will even grant you this stunning ombré pink scenery.)

 

The nitty-gritty part

Location: 120 Tanjong Beach Walk, Sentosa

Timing: Gates open at 5pm, feature films to begin at 7.30pm

Price: S$29.80 for each show (before GST)
