The annual Singapore Short Film Awards went into its 4th edition last night (2 Mar 2013) honouring the best in short films made in the last one year. This year's nominees are varied and bold. They dabble in topics ranging from quasi-child-porn to masturbation. Here is a photosplash of last evening's event.
'It's a Y, not a V. Y for YouTube - cos you just have to check out Objectif's new SG Film YouTube Channel!'

'If you noticed, we are dressed to match the seats of the Substation, red and black' says emcees Ezzam Rahman and Ghazi Alqudcy
Janice Koh, Guest-of-Honour brought out her red purse to continue to the red and black dress code as she delivers a thoughtful opening address about the need for better treatment for all on the filming set, crew, actors and filmmakers themselves. No better way to convince than to have those words come from one who's also worked on several important local short film works
