Singapore City

Want to immerse yourself in German film and culture? From now till November 9, the German Film Festival, presented by the Goethe Institute, returns to light up screens across Singapore. Cinephiles can delight in the eclectic lineup of films available this year, which range from social dramas and edgy comedies to bold documentaries and compelling shorts. This year’s iteration of the Festival is extra special too – it’s part of a series of events that celebrates 60 years of diplomatic relations between Germany and Singapore. This week, there are films for all ages and budgets. For a free, family-friendly movie night under the stars, catch Niko - Beyond the Northern Lights at Singapore Botanic Gardens. Not your thing? Hysteria, screened at Suntec City’s Golden Village, and In The Fade, shown at OTH Festive Arts Theatre, are dramatic thrillers that will have you on the edge of your seat. Football enthusiasts, meanwhile, might enjoy Lessons of a Dream, an award-winning film based loosely on the life of football pioneer Konrad Koch.
