We complete August's short film marathon with the 6th Singapore Short Film Festival. This year's selection is a real bumper edition. The festival spans a whole gamut of genres and contains several special features by country and by genre.
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.
