Singapore short film screening in Taipei city 2019/4/2.



The flim's topics are more wide range, the idea is to sell movie in international market that others can understand. Surprisingly, all spoke in good mardarin. Not much ascent as compared Jack Neo movie.

From left, first shor film is totally shot in Taipei city, very cultured film to understand and not much dialogue indid. Guest can only remember the RED and Transparent umbrella. Q&A session suspect its sponsored by SingTel....hahaha.

Second film is more interesting about a Armed security company van breakdown and emotion running high, work stress and family stress in English. Actor include one Indian LCP security driver and Chinese lady of inspector rank. LCP went AWOL rushing to see her wife giving birth and she missed picking up the daughter from school. STRESSED.

Third film is more interesting and l like it. It’s about the director mother's experience working in basd on expericnce at Seng song market. How cashless payment is making cashier obselete and out of job. Their protest story and commanderaship.

Fourth film is writing about the director’s story on friendship during her secondary school years. Quite refreshing about school days. Good mardarin spoken by two children actresses.

Extreme right film is sponsored by Temasek, who stated the theme of the film must be post-year 2020. It discussed the issue about future legislation law on legal clearing people's mind memory, getting ride of sucidal records. Interesting script for a low budget produced by a young director .


Small sponsored budget between S$15k to S$25k. Some of the young directors had to fork out there saving to complete the shoot. Most helping workers didn’t even get paid.

Without government support, it will be difficult. The SG trade office must have spend lots of time, efforts, budget to help film to attend the Taiwan 金馬獎 for the last few years .


Packed meal box prepared by Trade Office, very nice of them to take care of dinner,
