The Asian Film Archive presents another dialogue session under its reframe series called Asian Panorama: Singapore
Mavericks. This is a roundtable dialogue with five Singaporean film directors who
have displayed individualistic qualities and a fiercely independent mind in
their cinematic pursuits.
This chosen panel represents a
diverse cinematic palette whose bodies of works and recent representative film
demonstrate such ethos.
They will be dissecting and touching base on issues such as
- The construct of a “Singaporean Cinema”
- The notion of a socialistic approach towards art-making
- Operating on the “peripheral”
- Philosophies and obstacles surrounding their brands of independent filmmaking in Singapore and beyond.
