Submissions for Asian Feature Films & Southeast Asian Short Films
We welcome Asian and Southeast Asian films to be part of our Official Selection and Competition sections. The Festival will only consider films that are at least a Singapore premiere, have not been broadcast on TV or made available on the Internet, or screened publicly in Singapore in any way prior to the Festival.
