Singapore’s film industry, though comparably small and unknown to others like Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and Korea, is actually a hidden gem capable of producing world-class talent. This event will provide a rare opportunity for us to understand and appreciate Singapore films and local artist of Singapore descent.

A provocative insight into Singapore’s heritage and cosmopolitan society, this event would not have been possible without the support and assistance from the Vancouver Singapore Film Festival Society and MediaCorp Raintree Pictures, the pioneering movie company in Singapore.

Please check here for the program details. 

Filmmaker Sun-An Ng will be in attendance for Q&As. 

Date:             March 27, 2010 

Time:             7pm – 10:30pm

After one month break in December, our monthly screening will be happening again on January 23rd.

This event will be an exhibition of two award-winning documentaries, Hip-Hop Storm and “puujee”, from our past 2nd New Asia Film Festival in 2009. Both films were rated at the top of the list of the Audience Choice Award, and both films tell touching stories about Asian young people. “puujee” won the Audience Choice Award.

Mr. Ben Tsiang, the producer of Hip-Hop Storm and Chikae Honjo and Kazuya Yamada, the producer and director of “puujee”, attended the festival in 2009.  Please check here for the photos from the 2nd New Asia Film Festival.
