Festival of films from Singapore

Films from Singapore are set to be screened here in a festival, which marks Singapore's 50th birthday and the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between India and Singapore.
The event has been themed on "Stories from the Heartland". Heartland is a commonly used term in Singapore to refer to the towns and neighbourhoods where people live, gather and play.
The festival is being organised on August 13, August 14 and August 16 in partnership with the Directorate of Film Festivals and aims to present another side of the popular tourist and business destination, a futuristic city state in the tropics, according to a statement by the organisers.

Lim Thuan Kuan High Commissioner of Singapore to India said in a statement, "The first Singapore Film Festival in New Delhi was held in 2012. This time, the festival is back - bigger and better. We have lined up a range of films which have gained recognition internationally and in the region."
Seven films - both feature and shorts - by Singapore filmmakers would be screened.
"Covering a range of themes such as migration, family and art, they promise to intrigue, entertain, and inspire. Audiences will also get the chance to get up close and personal with some of the filmmakers, who will be holding post-screening workshops," Kuan said.

Workshops and post-screening dialogues with filmmakers Boo Junfeng, Sun Koh and Jow Zhi Wei, who are set to travel here for the festival are also scheduled.
