Congratulations to our Singaporean filmmaking talents who are shining bright at the prestigious 77th Festival de Cannes, including Singaporean producer Weijie Lai who co-produced feature film "Viet and Nam" and Wei Liang Chiang who directed feature film "Mongrel". Two other Singaporean-directed short films, "Withered Blossoms" by Lionel Seah and "Cold Cut" by Siyou Tan will also be competing in the La Cinef section and screening under Directors' Fortnight respectively. "Viet and Nam", which was awarded the Southeast Asia Co-Production grant under IMDA's Media Talent Progression Programme (MTPP), is in the running for the Un Certain Regard selection. This is a first for both Singaporean producer Weijie Lai and Director Truong Minh Quy. The film was also recently picked up for distribution by Pyramide International, one of France’s biggest independent film distributors. "Mongrel", a recipient of the New SG Director grant under IMDA’s MTPP, is director-writer Chiang Wei Liang's first feature film, selected for screening at Directors’ Fortnight and eligible for Camera d’Or – an award for the best first feature film. The co-production between Singapore, Taiwan and France was also recently picked up for distribution by Paris-based independent sales company, Alpha Violet. IMDA SG Digital Scholarship alumni Weijie and Wei Liang are set to showcase their stories on the world stage. Join us in showing our support as they compete globally!
