Curtains down as The Projector takes its final bow
20 Aug - Beginning 19 August, Singapore's independent cinema and arts venue, The Projector has ceased operation.

The venue announced the bad news on 19 August via Instagram, stating that it will enter liquidation after a decade of championing alternative films, local creativity and community-led programming.

It stated, "The realities of the cinema industry have been increasingly unforgiving. Rising operational costs, shifting audience habits, and the global decline in cinema attendance have made sustaining an independent model in Singapore especially challenging."

"These pressures have been compounded by the broader realities of operating in the arts and culture sector in Singapore, where independent ventures navigate limited resources while contributing to the country's evolving cultural landscape," they added.

The Projector founder Karen Tan stated that they have fought hard to keep the venue alive and that it devastated the team to have to make the decision.

"We are immensely grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey - our dedicated team, collaborators, partners, and most of all our loyal audiences who believed in what we were trying to do," Karen Tan added. "The Projector may be closing, but we hope its spirit will live on in the conversations, ideas, and communities we've nurtured."

Established in 2014, the venue has hosted multiple film festivals including the Singapore International Film Festival and the European Film Festival.
