Pitching Forum
The SGIFF Pro Pitching Forum is the centrepiece and culminating event of SGIFF Pro, the festival’s professional hub bringing together various industry initiatives under one umbrella. A platform for the region’s most promising feature film projects, the Pitching Forum is where meaningful coproduction conversations become real.
Held on 30 October 2026, participants will be able to present their projects to and meet with key decision-makers and high-calibre experts in independent film from across the globe. They will also have the opportunity to establish new and strategic relationships through curated and informal business matching, and take their projects to new heights.
Pitching Sessions
The Pitching Forum features two sessions open for application:
Session A: International Pitches
Open to producers from anywhere in the world with a project that has a clear intention to collaborate with Singapore or Southeast Asia — whether through financing, creative talent, shooting locations, or other resources. Selected projects are eligible for production support prizes awarded by the jury.
Session B: Singapore & Southeast Asian Pitches
Open to Singaporean producers, or Southeast Asian producers with a Singaporean coproducer attached, who are seeking international coproduction opportunities. Selected projects are eligible for travel grants and placements at an international market.
To submit your pitch, please apply via our form below. All submission materials will need to be in English. For enquiries, please write in to industry.2@sgiff.com
