Symposium on Singapore Cinema

The Asian Film Archive would like to invite people to their Symposium on Singapore Cinema.

The Asian Film Archive Presents Symposium series serves as an intellectual and practical nexus between filmmakers from the region, industry professionals, film scholars, and students interested in films and its industry. This year, the Symposium shines a spotlight on Singapore Cinema. The outstanding work of participants vying for the awards of Best Film Paper and Best Cineodeon Team will be showcased. Additionally, a panel session on Singapore Cinema will feature Sun Koh (Executive Producer, Lucky 7), Kenneth Tan (Director, Singapore Film Commission) and Dr Kenneth Paul Tan (Author, Cinema and Television in Singapore: Resistance in One Dimension). The Symposium on Singapore Cinema will culminate in the inaugural Asian Film Archive Young Jury Awards. These awards are voted by a panel of Young Jury members, as part of our Moving Minds Lab programme. The youths will honour film professionals in Singapore with prizes including the Best Film, Best Director, Best Performance, Best Cinematography, amongst others. The Symposium will be held at the Singapore Management University (SMU) Ngee Ann Kongsi Auditorium.
