SINGAPORE – The annual Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF) opens its doors to another edition of celebrating the best of cinema in Asia as it launches the official Call for Entries. The SGIFF has been a key cultural institution for film appreciation, not just in Singapore, but across the continent. The 31st festival returns on November 26, 2020.

We’re inviting film lovers, filmmakers, production and distribution houses, sales agents, film and cultural institutions working on Asia and Southeast Asia cinema to participate in the Festival by submitting their films, applications and projects for the following programmes”, shares the SGIFF organizers.
