Leading lifestyle and shopping destination Shangri-La Plaza is giving cinephiles, music lovers, and art aficionados more reasons to celebrate the brand-new year with an elevated take on entertainment. As a cultural hub in the metro, Shang is showcasing compelling films, live music, and an art workshop to start off 2024.

Head on over to the Red Carpet Cinema and catch Studio Ghibli’s The Boy and The Heron. The Golden Globe award-winning masterpiece from acclaimed Japanese auteur Hayao Miyazaki follows the story of Mahito Maki, a young boy who discovers a hidden world of magic as he looks to overcome a personal tragedy. Enveloped in Miyazaki’s trademark wonder and dreamlike world-building, viewers are poised to emerge with a profound, refreshed perspective on life, ready to embrace the challenges of the upcoming year.

No new year is complete without great music and that’s exactly what mall guests are getting as rising indie band SunKissed Lola returns for LIVE at the Shang! The band, which gained its first hit through 2023’s Spotify Top Track of the Year, Pasilyo, is bringing its own brand of buoyant Pinoy pop as it performs at the Grand Atrium on January 13 at 6:30PM for a night of great vibes and unforgettable tunes. 

Cinephiles rejoice as the Ateneo de Manila University Ricardo Leong Center for Chinese Studies and the Ateneo Celadon, together with the People’s Republic of China and the Film Development Council of the Philippines, present the 18th Spring Film Festival at the Red Carpet Cinema from January 23 to 30. As one of the most celebrated Chinese-Filipino festivals in the country, the Spring Film Festival offers a range of introspective works exploring personal growth, cultural enrichment, and heartfelt relationships. 

The Spring Film Festival is also holding a Chinese painting workshop on January 27, letting mall guests learn more about Chinese culture ahead of the Lunar New Year festivities.
