The 6th Singapore Short Film Festival
is back! Launched in 2001 by The Substation Moving Images, the festival
aims to champion the short film format, increase its profile and
encourage Singapore filmmakers to expand their horizons through exposure
to international and Southeast Asian shorts.
This year's highlights include Young Love, a collection of films
exploring the butterflies in the stomach to the gut wrenching anguish of
heartbreak; Horizons, films transcending the usual borders of space,
nature and time; and The Kids Aren’t Alright, films that speak of the
psyche behind children, adolescents and youths of today. Also included
is the S-Express traveling short film series, featuring works by Asian
film talents from around the region. Featuring S-Express Singapore,
S-Express Thailand, curated by Sanchai Cotirosseranee (Thai Short Film
and Video Festival) and S-Express Philippines, curated by Francis Cruz,
Dodo Dayao, Richard Bolisay (curators / film bloggers). The Philippines
segment will be paying tribute to the late Alexis Tioseco, previous
S-Express Philippines curator, and his partner Nika Bohinc, who passed
away last year.
