The 28th Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF) wrapped last night after 11 days of immersive festivities that celebrated and inspired the discovery of independent cinema. More than 14,000 people turned out for the festival, which showcased 112 feature and short films from 42 countries and enjoyed 31 sold out screenings. Festival-goers were also enthralled by the short film programmes this year, with four sold-out Southeast Asian Short Film and Singapore Panorama Short Film programmes. It was also the first film to have both its screenings sell out at this year’s festival. The award-winning film was rescreened at the National Museum of Singapore yesterday, alongside the winners of this year’s Best Southeast Asian Short Film, “Jodilerks Dela Cruz, Employee of the Month” by Carlo Francisco Manatad, Best Singapore Short Film “Between Us Two” by Tan Wei Keong, and Best Asian Feature Film “Disappearance” by Ali Asgari.
