'Wicked' and ‘Wicked: For Good’ director Jon M. Chu presents '2001: A Space Odyssey'

Running time: 152 mins

‘Director of 'Wicked' and ‘Wicked: For Good’ Jon M. Chu presents some of his favourite films at Genesis Cinema with a special screening of '2001: A Space Odyssey'. A pair of astronauts heads to Jupiter to investigate a radio signal sent from a mysterious monolith on the moon, but their tranquil trip is endangered when their on-board computer begins acting oddly. The simple plot of director Stanley Kubrick's inspired space adventure (co-scripted with noted science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke) belies the profound philosophical implications of this classic film, which inspires viewers to ask questions about the nature of advanced civilizations . . . and of human consciousness. Nearly half a century after its release, the film's groundbreaking special effects are still breathtaking, and its ending still mind-bending.

On a silent Christmas Eve, Shekhar is forced to face the unthinkable: deciding whether to end his mother’s life.

The choice he makes shatters the fragile ties within his family—and leaves him forever changed, carrying the weight of a decision no one should ever have to make.

'Wicked' and ‘Wicked: For Good’ director Jon M. Chu presents 'Singin’ In The Rain'

Running time: 102 mins

A very special screening of 'Singin’ in the Rain' featuring an in-person introduction by the director of 'Wicked' and ‘Wicked: For Good,’ Jon M. Chu.

Jon M. Chu celebrates his favourite films with two showings at Genesis cinema for one night only.

Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor star in Singin' in the Rain, one of the greatest and most successful musicals ever filmed - filled with memorable songs, lavish routines and Kelly's fabulous song-and-dance number performed in the rain. Set during the advent of "talkies," Don Lockwood has risen to stardom during Hollywood's silent-movie era - paired with the beautiful, jealous and dumb Lina Lamont. And when Lockwood becomes attracted to young studio singer Kathy Selden, Lamont has her fired. But with the introduction of talking pictures, Lockwood finds his career in jeopardy after audiences laugh when they hear Lamont speak in her shrill voice for the first time... until the studio decides to use Selden to dub her voice.

Tron: Ares

Running time: 120 mins

TRON: Ares follows a highly sophisticated Program, Ares, who is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind's first encounter with A.I. beings. This is the third entry in the ground-breaking TRON series that started back in 1982, and follows the events of TRON: Legacy. TRON: Ares contains several sequences with flashing lights that may affect those who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy or have other photo sensitivities.

Urchin

Running time: 99 mins

Urchin is the stunning directorial debut from Harris Dickinson, powered by an outstanding, award-winning performance from Frank Dillane. Mike (Dillane), a rough sleeper on the streets of London, is trapped in a cycle of self-destruction as he attempts to turn his life around. Moving between short-term jobs and small-time hustles, he must balance the hopeful rush of a fresh start with a past that is holding him back. By turns exhilarating and poetic, Urchin is a bold, vibrant and utterly unmissable portrait of life on the margins.
