Local indie cinema The Projector is going back to its roots. The Projector will officially reopen at Golden Mile Tower on August 6, marking a homecoming for the beloved picture palace after the building’s en bloc process ended without a sale. The Projector made the decision earlier this year to scale back on daily screenings in April 2025 due to the ongoing en bloc discussions.
In its latest Instagram post, the indie cinema also announced that it is exiting its Cineleisure location this month. Golden Village, which was managing this location in joint collaboration with The Projector, will now fully manage operations at Cineleisure.
The Projector's return to Golden Mile Tower comes in its 10th anniversary, and with it, a renewed focus on bold, diverse film programming and the vibrant community spirit that first made it a darling of the film scene.
What is The Projector?
The Projector is Singapore’s go-to indie cinema, celebrated for its offbeat curation of arthouse, indie, cult classics and foreign-language films rarely screened in mainstream theatres. It also regularly hosts themed events, comedy shows, live music performances and more.
It first opened in 2014 on the top floor of Golden Mile Tower, transforming a forgotten corner of a Brutalist building into a creative oasis with two cinema halls. A decade on, The Projector now screens over 250 films a year, with more than half comprising indie titles, auteur retrospectives and international cultural festivals.
When will The Projector open at Golden Mile?
Screenings resume on August 6, so mark your calendars and get ready for late-night cult classics, indie premieres and curated film events.
When will The Projector cease operations at Cineleisure?
The Projector will cease operations at Cinelesure from August 4. Any screenings at Cineleisure scheduled past this date will be shifted to Golden Mile Tower – The Projector has said that it will reach out to those affected via email, so do check your inboxes if you're a ticketholder.
