What does it mean to grow up and come of age in today’s super technology-driven world? That’s what the films presented at this year’s Singapore Youth Film Festival aim to answer and explore, told through heartfelt, intimate stories and bold, experimental visuals. Themed ‘Focus, Gather, Bloom’, the second edition of the two-week-long event celebrating local cinema and emerging filmmakers features 43 motion pictures that have been shortlisted from over 200 submissions across the Student and Open Youth Categories. They range from animation to live-action movies. All of the films will be made available for the public at ticketed screening events held at Oldham Theatre and SOTA Studio Theatre. Also, for the first time, this year’s programme lineup includes a public screening of the Most Promising Film winner. The student category recognises young filmmakers who have shown potential in their filmmaking journey, as selected by the festival’s committee.
For the aspiring directors and film junkies among us, there will also be a series of exclusive talks and workshops, where you can learn and hear from industry experts on how to navigate the movie world.
