Together with the Singapore Film Society, Shaw is presenting three films on this pay-per-view site. It costs $4.99, $9.99 or $12.99 to rent a film, which will be available for 14 days, with a watch window of 48 hours once you press play. The pricing is to reflect older, recently released and new titles.

Psychological horror work Swallow (2019), starring Haley Bennett, is available now.

On July 10 comes the documentary The Painter And The Thief, which The Guardian newspaper hailed "the year's most moving documentary". After a Czech artist has her work stolen, she contacts the thief with a proposition: She would like to paint him, and an unlikely relationship forms.

On July 17, the documentary Spaceship Earth will be released. It details the events of 1991 when eight men and women were sealed into a dome-shaped microcosm of Earth called Biosphere 2. It was a simulation designed to test sustainability, but what resulted was a media circus with lessons for everyone involved.

From July 14, KinoLounge will host the Singapore French Summer Festival as part of the French National Day celebrations. Details to come.
