New Waves: Emerging Voices of Southeast Asian Cinema

New Waves shines a spotlight on young filmmakers who are making waves through the archipelago, forming an emerging community within Southeast Asia. Join them in a series of dialogues with Singaporean artists, writers and curators from different disciplines, as they recollect their entrance into cinema, their unique and personal approaches to utilising film as a mode of expression, and its convergence with other art forms and everyday life. Come participate in these open dialogue sessions to find out more about this emerging community of filmmakers in anticipation of the upcoming 27th edition of the Singapore International Film Festival.


Truong Minh Quy: Into the Forest
 (In dialogue with Jennifer Teo)

A prominent voice from South Vietnam, Truong Minh Quy has made a series of short films and is now completing his first feature film, The City of Mirrors. Constantly dealing with his country’s and his own personal histories, and the disjuncture between urban and rural space, Truong’s films display an intimate relationship with landscapes outside the city, from mountains to dense forests, the space where he invests his desire and rumination of things past and future. Joined by Jennifer Teo from Post-Museum who has mounted a series of community and art projects in Bukit Brown, both guests will discuss what it means and what we could find when we enter a forest.
