If you need to reset your pin, email: info@theprojector.sg, with the subject “R21 Pin Reset” and we will help you set up a new pin. There may be delays to the R21 Pin reset, so please save it in a safe space!

Q. Why do I have to input the pin to see some trailers?

The Infocomm Media Development Authority of Singapore (IMDA), which The Projector Plus is subject to, requires that all R21 content, including trailers and features of film, be accessible only via a valid R21 pin.

All films are not available in China and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Additional exclusions apply, please refer to each film listing for details. Read our Country Exclusions page on the festival website.

Further, please do not use VPNs, or your work laptop to watch the films. If you’re using neither, please try with another device. Occasionally, you may just need to clear your cache and refresh your browser. The film streams are going through several layers of anti-piracy security before being allowed to stream and sometimes this results in a false error message regarding the region.
