, executive director of the Singapore International Film Festival, says South East Asian cinema contains exciting talent. And that the way forward involves cooperation with the video streaming platforms.“There are some amazing short films and documentaries that show great potential in who to look out for the next few years. That’s really exciting. There are many film projects that have been workshopped in labs and programs with specific art house aesthetics and rhythms.
Is the large and growing number of project markets, pitching sessions, bursaries etc helping the SEA industry? Or making it more subsidy dependent? “The time for Southeast Asian films has never been better because there is an international spotlight on it, so people are looking to co-produce or get involved somehow., we are in it for the long-haul because we want to build an audience for films from our region. It just doesn’t stop when the next trend comes along.
“Creating the ecosystem for that to happen is challenging. Collaboration with various partners from all over the world is important so that we can pull our resources together. That is why our Southeast Asian Producers Network this year brings together producers, funders and grant-givers to discuss what’s happening now, and what does it lead to tomorrow? We want to be able to steer our path so that there is a long lifespan for Southeast Asian content to be made and to be seen.
“It’s really been a pleasure to work with HBO Asia and Netflix this year as they both companies are also passionate about good storytelling though the visual medium.”
