What to expect
Open-air screenings at harbourfront and rooftop venues on cooler evenings, alongside curated arthouse retrospectives and blockbuster runs at the city's cinemas. Outdoor events often pair films with food and drink stalls.
Tips for visitors
Outdoor screenings depend on the weather, so check ahead during typhoon season, and book popular rooftop nights early. For wet days, the city's arthouse cinemas are a reliable cool refuge.
