The Singapore Chinese Film Festival is co-organized by the Singapore Film Society and the SIM University Centre for Chinese Studies. This year, the number of Chinese-language films screened has increased from 10 last year to 30 feature films and 11 short films, all of which are selected from outstanding works in the Chinese film industry over the past three years.
This year's film festival is divided into four sections: "Chinese Panorama," "Documentary Vision," "Short Film Exclamation," and "Classic King Hu." In addition to mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, the films also originate from Singapore, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand, including many excellent cross-border productions.
The "Chinese Panorama" section showcases the customs and social conditions of Chinese societies or communities in different regions through 14 feature films. The "Documentary Vision" section selects 8 documentaries with diverse perspectives, using camera lenses to record the real Chinese world. The films are either picturesque or emotionally moving. The "Classic King Hu" section allows audiences to revisit the precious cinematic legacy left by this master of martial arts films through 8 classic works, including "Dragon Gate Inn" and "Come Drink with Me."
This year's film festival will continue until the 27th. In addition to film screenings, the festival has arranged post-screening exchanges with filmmakers, aiming to integrate cultural dissemination, education, and entertainment to promote diverse Chinese-language cinema.
