From now until the end of the month, Asian Film Archive has curated an extensive film programme titled Reel Singapore that goes beyond tracing Singapore’s cinematic history to capture the nation’s multicultural, its ever-evolving identity, and the future. Organised around five themes, History-Memory, Sonic Nation, Rebel Energies, Horrific Fabulations, and Speculative Futures, the lineup includes both short and feature-length films that are produced and shot by homegrown and international filmmakers alike.
Some highlights include Jian Hong Kuo’s sci-fi flick Cyber Wars and the classic horror tale, Anak Pontianak, directed by Ramon Estella. There’s also a double-bill screening of Eric Khoo’s Pain, alongside Toh Hai Leong’s grungy mockumentary, Zombie Dogs, which will be followed by a post-show discussion.
The month-long programme concludes with an encore screening of History-Memory shorts, which includes 2025’s Twilight Ladies, and 2003’s Utama—Every Name in History is I, a story that charts Sang Nila Utama’s arrival. For the full programme details, check here.
