SINGAPORE FILM INDUSTRY
*Each year, L’Atelier selects about 15 feature length projects from around the world, and invites their directors to the Festival de Cannes in order to put them in
contact with film professionals. The filmmakers are selected according to the quality of their project and that of their previous films, as well as on the state of
progress of their finance plan. The programme will enable them to gain access to international financing and speed up the production process.
CELEBRATE, CONNECT In celebration of Singapore’s 50th birthday, local filmmakers are excited to tell the nation’s story through their work. In 2015, cinemagoers can look out for titles such as 1965 and 7 Letters. Veteran producer Daniel Yun’s latest film 1965 is set to bring the audience back in time through the stories of immigrants and natives during Singapore’s struggle for independence. 7 Letters, a collection of seven short stories jointly put together by seven talented local directors, presents a unique interpretation of Singapore and the lives of its people.
Many of the compelling stories by local filmmakers are inspired by the shared memories and experiences of Singaporeans. A Singapore 50 project, Spotlight on Singapore Cinema, will restore four iconic films from the 1950s to the 1970s. These films will take to the screens in the second half of 2015.
2015 will see Singapore’s screens brightly lit with a yearlong showcase of celebration, pioneering, and variety. Local cinemagoers will see a total of 24 feature film releases in the year, and these include the third installment of the hugely successful Ah Boys to Men series, titled Ah Boys to Men 3: Frogmen, and Kelvin Tong’s Hollywood debut, The Faith of Anna Waters. With such a vibrant and robust line up starting the end of this year through to next year, the Singapore film industry will definitely be one to look out for.
BLOSSOMING FILM INDUSTRY As the landscape for Singapore’s media industry flourishes, so does our nation’s aptitude and passion for film. Building on the momentum set by Anthony Chen’s Ilo Ilo, Singapore filmmakers continue to tell stories that resonate with audiences in Asia and beyond. We look forward to 2015 as an exciting year for the Singapore film industry — from heartfelt stories that celebrate Singapore and its people, to local talent and film companies venturing into international terrain and gaining recognition at film awards and screenings around the world.
INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS In December 2014, Singapore saw the launch of the inaugural Singapore Media Festival (SMF), a marquee film and TV event that brought together four complementary events – Asia TV Forum & Market (ATF), ScreenSingapore (SS), Asian Television Awards (ATA), and Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF). The umbrella event provides a platform to showcase the best of Southeast Asian content, opening up more opportunities for international players to look to Asia as a valued partner in content creation and recognising Singapore as a burgeoning market and gateway to the region. The year 2014 also saw another milestone for Singapore’s film industry, with two upcoming Hollywood blockbusters, Agent 47 and Equals, partially shot and produced on our shores. Singaporeans can expect to see iconic locations like Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, and Chinatown on the big screen when Agent 47 and Equals premiere in 2015 and 2016 respectively.
SUPPORT FOR LOCAL FILMS The Singapore Film Commission (SFC) nurtures, supports, and promotes Singapore talent in filmmaking and the production of films. It administers the New Talent Feature Grant (NTFG), which supports new filmmakers in developing feature films. Of the first batch of NTFG award recipients, three talented local directors — Ric Aw, K.Rajagopal, and Jason Lai are set to release their debut feature films. Ric and Jason’s films, titled Standing in Still Water and Ms J Contemplates Her Choice respectively, made their premiere under the Singapore Panorama section of the 25th Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF). At the Cannes Film Festival 2014, K. Rajagopal became the only Asian director out of a total of 15 international directors selected for the prestigious Cinefondation L’Atelier* for A Yellow Bird, which tells a story about an ex-convict looking for societal acceptance after seven years in prison.

synopsis
Tatsumi celebrates the life and work of Japanese comic artist Yoshihiro Tatsumi. In post-war Japan, young Tatsumi’s passion for comics eventually becomes a means of supporting his poor family. Already a published comic artist as a teenager, talented Tatsumi finds even greater inspiration after meeting his idol – the famous Disneyesque animator Osamu Tezuka. Despite his success, Tatsumi begins to question why Japanese comics should cater to children with cute and whimsical tales and drawings. In 1957, Tatsumi coins the term “gekiga” (dramatic pictures) and redefines the manga landscape by introducing an alternative genre for adults. Realistic and disquieting, Tatsumi’s work begins to grapple with the darker aspects of life.

A brooding drifter, Takashi (Will Yun Lee of The Wolverine) moves from Tokyo to Los Angeles to escape a love lost. Takashi forgot many of the painful details of his past after an accident that put him into a coma for years. The film lands us smack in the intersection of the lives of four men who have drifted into a low-rent hotel in gritty L.A. Hotel manager Blake (Eric Mabius of Ugly Betty), is searching for the meaning of life after divorce. Julio (Latin TV star Fernando Noriega) just wants to work and earn enough to send money home to his family in Mexico. Guy, a Londoner who overstays his tourist visa, seems to cruise along and never fails to get himself and his hotel mates into trouble.

synopsis
A Gran Plan is a poignant film that explores the relationship between a10-year-old Eurasian boy from a broken home and a 68-year-old Indian grandmother. They make the most unlikely friends, but in their emotional state, come together in a shared space of sadness.
When the grandmother realises the deep guilt this young child is harbouring, she puts aside her own sadness and fears, and works at ensuring a happy story line for him. This beautiful relationship becomes the perfect backdrop for the child to correct his misplaced guilt. She thrives on it too, enjoying the freedom of being able to reveal to a stranger what she would hesitate to disclose to her family. The film, set in Singapore, explores trust, friendship, and faith.
简介
A Gran Plan 是一部让人心酸的影片,该片讲述了一个欧亚混血的十岁小男孩在家庭破裂之后,与一位68岁的印度老奶奶之间的故事。同是天涯沦落人,两个最不可能成为朋友的人成了彼此的依赖,相互取暖,抚平创伤。当老奶奶意识到这个小男孩内心的愧疚感时,她抛下了自己的悲伤和恐惧,努力给小男孩创造一个幸福的生活。两人的感情逐渐升华,为影片渲染了一层温馨感,小男孩也放下了内心错位的愧疚。老奶奶也走出阴影,学着向陌生人敞开心扉,吐露了曾经对亲人都有所保留的心事,享受着倾诉的乐 趣。电影取景于新加坡,是一次对信任、友谊和信念的探索。

AH BOYS TO MEN 3: FROGMEN 新兵正传3: 蛙人传
synopsis
Ah Boys to Men 3: Frogmen brings Singapore’s favourite recruits back to the days before enlistment in ABTM. Instead of Pulau Tekong, the Ah Boys are posted to the Naval Diving Unit (NDU).
Returning to active duty are familiar characters – Ken Chow (Joshua Tan), the spoilt, rich kid, who tries to “keng” his way out of NS. Aloysius Jin aka Wayang King (Maxi Lim), whose over-enthusiasm creates more problems for his cabin mates. Lobang (Wang Weiliang), the street-smart wheeler dealer, out to make a quick buck off his cabin mates. Joining them is new face Hei Long aka The Black Dragon (Wesley Wong), an aggressive gang leader, who prefers to talk with his fists instead of his mouth.
Together, this ragtag band of misfits must somehow survive 40 weeks of training in hell. Do they have what it takes to become one of Singapore’s most fearsome military units – the frogmen?

The film explores contemporary Southeast Asia and its cinema through the works of four iconic filmmakers – Eric Khoo (Singapore), Pen-ek Ratanaruang (Thailand), Brillante Mendoza (Philippines) and Garin Nugroho (Indonesia).
From the dialogue between each director’s style and the social realities that inspire them, emerges a powerful picture of a region rich in diversity. The lives of ordinary people in provisional Philippines, an increasingly divided Thailand, censorship in Singapore, and an Indonesia finding its way through messy democracy – reveal the various contexts that brought about the rise of Southeast Asian cinema.

84岁的龙奶奶又迎来了自己的本命年,此生她尚有一个心愿
未了——抱孙子。所以过新年的时候,她祈求老天让她如愿。
然而,三个孩子都不让人省心。希望渺渺,龙奶奶只有默默祷
告,这也是她唯一能做的。当午夜的钟声响起,龙家传出了婴
儿的啼哭,2012年龙年大年初一真是柳暗花明,让人欣喜。
整部影片是一部积极向上的家庭喜剧,电影名“龙众舞”听起
来也很像福建话的“包罗万象”。

A woman begins to come to terms with society after having withdrawn into her own world to mourn her late husband. The film splinters away to document the characters surrounding her – people from different classes, including the director’s own family. An investigation of the landscapes in which we live, work, and play, this is Singapore seen through the prisms of family, class, and race.

synopsis
In the monsoon season of eighties Singapore, Syafiqah enters a harsh institution where she befriends an ostracised boy, Huat. Misunderstood and bullied, the friends spent their afternoons in the giant storm drains behind their school, carving out a fragile world of fantasy. But as the rains intensify, a vow of secrecy forces her to embark on a quest for independence well beyond her years. With its delicate coming of age narrative, this film is a richly-chorded tone-poem about loss. It gently investigates memories of childhood within the paternal landscape of a swiftly evolving city-state.

synopsis
Should you listen to your heart or follow your head?
Set in Singapore in 1993, this is a coming of age teenage romance, about dreams, friendships, first love, and the difficult choice between following your head, or listening to your heart. The story follows a group of teenagers’ efforts to bring business back to a struggling folk music pub, and the blossoming love between Jiaming and May, both fans of Singaporean folk music.
That Girl in Pinafore《我的朋友、我的同学、我爱过的一切》is the first Singapore film in 15 years to celebrate the success of “Xinyao” (新谣), the popular 90s Singaporean folk music movement. This charming teenage love story re-introduces ‘Xinyao’, mixed with contemporary music arrangements, to a new generation.

新编过曲的新谣歌曲,注入在这部动人的年轻人
的爱情电影。

Eric Khoo put Singapore on the international film map with his first two films, Mee Pok Man and 12 Storeys, which have together been screened at over 60 film festivals held all over the world and won numerous festival awards.

synopsis
In the Room deals with love, life and lust.
Eric Khoo’s latest film is a tapestry of stories, all of which unfold in a hotel room over several decades. The common thread is sex.
That hotel room is Room 27 at the Singapura Hotel, which started out as a ritzy establishment in the 1940s but has, over the decades, lost its sheen of respectability. In that time, Room 27 has felt and experienced – through the individuals who have passed through its doors and made love on its bed - all facets of the human condition: joy, love, fear, compassion, cruelty, depravity, and redemption.
简介
新加坡导演邱金海的最新作品探讨的是爱情、生活和欲望。整个
剧情在一间门号27号的酒店房展开,一连串故事的共同点就是
性爱。当一个接着一个人物进出这间酒店房,并在房里的床上做
爱时,人类的种种层面如欢愉、恐惧、同理心、丑陋和残忍等都
浮现在观众眼前。

TIME CAPSULE (HINTERLAND)
synopsis
The director films scenes in Singapore for an imaginary time capsule that will be buried in 2015 and unearthed in 2065, 50 years later. Scenes chosen include special one-time events like the opening ceremonies of grand infrastructural projects like a new expressway and sports stadium, and nondescript everyday events like school assemblies and fire drills, intercut with the unearthing, in 2014, of an actual time capsule buried in 1990 (as part of Singapore’s 25th birthday).
How does one choose what items to keep and preserve for future generations? Does it even matter? These are some of the themes we will explore.
Tan Pin Pin Tan Pin Pin is a Singaporean documentary film director known for her award-winning portraits of Singapore and her histories. Moving House (2001), a film about the exhumation of a Singapore family’s ancestor’s graves, won several awards including the Student Academy Award.

The film has screened to sold-out audiences in Singapore and was voted “Best Film 2006” by the Straits Times. Invisible City (2007) is a film about journalists, archaeologists and filmmakers who are fighting the atrophy of memory to unearth and preserve oral histories and photo archives for the future generations. It won awards at France’s Cinema du Reel as well as at the Taiwan International Documentary Festival.
