Terms and conditions apply.Synopsis:Returning after a hiatus of six years, Objectifs and The Substation are proud to announce the return of Asian Film Symposium (AFS). AFS showcases short films from partner countries in South-East Asia, where film programmers are invited to curate cutting-edge short films from their respective countries and share them with the local audience. In addition, through intimate dialogue sessions, AFS provides a vital platform for sharing and exchange among filmmakers, critics and programmers, encouraging dialogue between these key players in regional independent film industries, in the presence of an audience who will hear them debate and discuss pertinent topics that affect cinema in the region today.This 2015 edition of AFS features the theme: Pop! Culture. Deemed as the 'culture of the people', pop culture encompasses the collection of ideals and ideas influenced mainly by the mass media. From fashion, television, language, music and films, these elements very much make up the contemporary aspects of our lives. Pop Culture is everywhere; we talk about it, we read about it and in some ways, we are obsessed about it. How does pop culture affect or influence our society? Through these short films, the notion of pop culture will be explored from an Asian perspective.This year's Country-In-Focus is Taiwan. A special program curated by Taipei International Film Festival curator Kuo Ming-Jung will be presented on Saturday 12th September, with the curator in attendance.Their respective curators and a filmmaker will represent all countries featured in Asian Film Symposium. Asian Film Symposium 2015 is supported by "Watch Local", an initiative under the Singapore Film Commission.Rating for these films are TBA.For more information on Asian Film Symposium, please visit:www.objectifs.com.sg/afs2015/www.facebook.com/events/1007195269336915TICKET DETAILSScreening 1 - 11am to 12.30pm / 73 mins / Rating TBADino by Edward Gunawan / 15 mins / Indonesia / PGNunui by Chanya Hetayothin / 4 mins / Thailand / GPilem Pertamaku by Vincent Jose / 4 mins / Indonesia / PGA Fistful of Pebbles by Somchanrith Chap / 7 mins / CambodiaBreathe by Twatpong Tangsajjapoi / 10 mins / Thailand / PGRozita Binti Roslan by Taufiq / 10:06 mins / Malaysia / PGAnchovies by Zulkifli Salleh / 22 mins / Singapore / PG1st Dialogue Session: Independent Cinema: Opportunities and Challenges To Growing An Audience - 1pm to 2pmExposure and discourse about independent cinema has improved since the dawn of the connected age. However, available access to knowledge of alternative content is not always tantamount to growth of the independent cinema. How have filmmakers and programmers addressed these issues that are so pertinent to growing audiences (for their brand of cinema)? What are some measures they have taken in their own line of work to not only grow a healthy viable appetite for their programs and films but to sustain the presence of independent cinema in their countries as a whole? Through this dialogue, audiences will get an inside look at some of the challenges film programmers and filmmakers face in the spirit of elevating a national consciousness about independent film, and what are some choices they make in an effort to grow this audience.*Speakers TBAScreening 2 - 2.30pm to 4.30pm: In Focus: Voices from Taiwan / 105 mins / R21Scumbag, Pervert and the Girl in Between by Bruce Hwang Chen / 15:50 mins / NC16 Consumer Advice: Sexual References 性相关语On Happiness Road by Sung Hsin-Yin / 13 mins / GIntoxicant by John Hsu / 26 mins / PG13 Consumer Advice: Some Coarse Language 些许粗俗语言Rock Rabbit by Miho Chen / 22 mins / R21 Consumer Advice: Sexual Scenes 性相关画面Rowboat by C.J.

How do such mediums affect or influence the work of a filmmaker/programmer? How has it shaped the artist/programmer they were before to what there are now? Through this intimate and personal discussion, this dialogue hopes to draw parallels or distinctions between the overarching effects of mass-market culture across countries whose cultures may be disparate but their effects may not be so different.*Speakers TBAScreening 3 - 6.30pm to 8pm / 89 mins / PG13Cambodia 2099 by Davy Chou / 21 mins / Cambodia / PGIsan Mars / 12 mins / Thailand / PGJakartarck by Ari Rusyadi / 16 mins / Indonesia / PG13 Consumer Advice: Some Coarse Languages 些许粗俗语言On Duty with Shu Qi by Do Qouc Trung / 22:07 mins / Vietnam / PG13 Consumer Advice: Some Coarse Languages 些许粗俗语言Salvaj by John Cho / 12 mins / Malaysia / PGBeansprouts and Salted Fish by CheeK / 6 mins / Singapore / PGSeptfest 2015: 25 years of The SubstationSeptfest is The Substation's annual anniversary celebration, and this year, we turn 25!
