SFS Preview

We bring you early access to selected movies days or weeks before their official theatrical release, through our various partnerships with local distributors. Free for members.

SFS Spotlight

We highlight films, contemporary or classic, screened by our partners that either come with that extra oomph (post-screening Q&As!) or movie releases that are just too good (or fun!) to ignore. Free for members.

SFS Special Presentation 

We launch special screenings on a seasonal basis that could be restored classics, films in Chinese dialect, or something that might just surprise you. Discount code for members.

SFS Festival

We co-organise major film festivals annually, including the Singapore Chinese Film Festival, European Film Festival, Japanese Film Festival, and many more. Discount code for members.
