Atlas: Essays from the Youth Critics Programme
Alongside the rejuvenation of the Youth Critics Programme (YCP), SGIFF launches the programme’s inaugural publication: Atlas. The first volume presents 19 essays on Asian cinema, charting new ways of encountering the festival’s 33rd programme.
Under the mentorship of editor and film researcher Phoebe Pua, this anthology roams across critical reflections, interviews and personal letters from our emerging film writers. Each a unique coordinate on the map of cinematic discourse.
Student Programmes
SGIFF now proudly runs two key student outreach programmes. Our programmes are designed to help students develop a deeper understanding of the art of film and provide exposure to alternative film-watching experiences. We use local films as a way to connect students with their community and explore the unique perspectives and stories that can be found in their own backyard.
NAC - Arts Education Programme
A programme led by a qualified instructor to facilitate a deeper dive into film literacy.
Film Immersion Programme
A platform to nurture media literacy and appreciation of the film medium among youths.
