            The World of Love (2025)
It's disclosure day at Asian Film Archive where their sci-fi themed programme, Earthlings Welcome, opens this weekend with 4 cinematic classics from all over globe! ArtScience Museum's new Sustainable Futures programme also begins a new run of documentaries this week with free screenings in their cinema.
There are still limited free tickets left for Yoon Ga-eun's (director of The World of Love) in-person masterclass at Filmhouse this week to coincide with the film's premiere. I've already managed to see the film, and I thought it was very good; full of sensitivity and nuance. It's surely one to spark a few conversations. This weekend also sees the premiere of Olivia Wilde's well-reviewed The Invite, and the return of 2018's beautiful Cold War in Filmhouse's Music in Film programme.
The weekend also sees the first screening of Billy Wilder classic The Apartment at the Capitol Cinema. This is a classic for many very good reasons, chief of which: Shirley MacLaine's performance. 
That's a lot of fresh screenings this weekend, and people are still breaking down the doors of GV to get tickets for the Teochew screening of Dear You. Cinema ain't dead!
