Overview
- Operations ceased immediately on Aug 19, reversing recent plans to restart screenings at Golden Mile Tower.
- Pocket Cinema, the operator, owes more than S$1.2 million, including nearly S$90,000 to about 2,300 members, according to an email to creditors.
- A creditors’ meeting is set for Aug 29 via video conference, with a notice also carried in the Government Gazette.
- Membership refunds will be handled after liquidators are appointed, per creditor communications and official notices.
- The shutdown erases a key space for alternative and community-led programming — including regular LGBTQ+ showcases — that patrons say fostered a rare sense of belonging.
