24 - 26 Oct @ Oldham Theatre | Singapore’s first and longest-running student-led film festival
Perspectives Film Festival — Breakthroughs in Cinema is an annual practicum course run by the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information (WKWSCI), and organised by undergraduates from Nanyang Technological University (NTU). Perspectives Film Festival gives students the skills and hands-on experience of organising a curated film festival. The concept of Breakthroughs is broadly interpreted
and can mean films that were the cinematic best or first examples either historically, technically, artistically, conceptually or narratively. Breakthroughs can also be interpreted to mean films that aim to change the status quo in their form and/or content. Students work individually and as part of a team to program and organize the festival, gaining valuable insight and real-life practice of the various aspects of putting a film festival together, including programming, ticketing, publicity and marketing, fundraising, budgeting and financial fiscal management, audience development and exhibition.
