This SG60 season, we look at some of the landmark firsts in Singapore cinema and stories that reflect on identity, heritage, and home.
From Singapore’s very first martial arts film Ring of Fury drop-kicking into the scene to Eric Khoo’s 12 Storeys and Anthony Chen’s Ilo Ilo, the first Singaporean film to be shown at Cannes and first Singaporean Camera d’Or winner respectively, to Kirsten Tan’s Sundance-award winning hit Pop Aye, these films mark turning points that have shaped our island’s cinematic voice. Spanning decades and styles, ArtScience Cinema celebrates the pioneering spirit and growing global presence of Singapore’s storytelling on screen.
