Mise En SIN is organised by SINdie(http://sindieonly.blogspot.com/), the only online site in Singapore fully dedicated to Singapore independent films and filmmakers. It is held in conjunction with the Singapore Short Film Awards at the Substation between 28 February to 6 March 2011. The Singapore Short Film Awards is co-organised by The Substation and Objectifs. The poster exhibition will run for an extended period beyond 6 March.
I was invited down by one of the organisers, Jeremy Sing for a tour at the exhibition(With commentary, shiok ok! ), to check out 100 of the selected posters of films produced over the past 5 years.
The exhibition is rather eye-catching, with lots of interesting posters.
Some of my favorite films I’ve watched over the years, these are just the ones I’ve watched before, I really long to watch every single one of it.
The Days, by Boi Kwong.
Eating Air(Jiak Hong) , by Jasmine Ng.
The Maid, Kelvin Tong
Ah Kong, by none other than, Roystan Tan, my favorite local director.
I had always dreamed about producing films, And this whole exhibition, had really turned me dumbfounded, I felt like I was given a calling.
Check out this poster, The boy actor looks exactly like a younger me!
