The New Paper First Film Fest
2011-03-18 2:29PM / BLOG新聞 / 會員可以看
The New Paper’s inaugural FiRST Film Fest (FFF) was held this March. It was an event aiming to encourage aspiring film-makers to submit 3-minute videos in a competition. Shortlisted directors stood to take home $50,000 worth of grants from the Ministry of Information, Communication and the Arts (Mica) and three brand new Sony HD Handycams.There was a FIRST Film Fest workshop held as well, during which Oscar-winning producer Barbara Schock delighted the near-capacity crowd at Sinema Old School with her presentation on short film aesthetics. The Tisch School of the Arts Asia professor screened award-winning short films from around the world and spoke about the challenges of making them.On March 16, 2011, there was a private screening of the top 10 films at Sinema Old School. Each of the judges' favourite shorts were shown, followed by Q&A sessions as well as critiques from the panel. The panel compromised Jack Neo, Singapore's most successful movie director, as well as indie film darling Wee Li Lin. Also included was Maria Lorenzo, head of film distribution and programming with Golden Village, as well as Sinema Old School co-founder Nicholas Chee. It was an invaluable opportunity to talk movies with Singaporeans who have made a name for themselves in the local and international movie scene.Yesterday evening, the top three winners of the FIRST Film Fest were announced at a red-carpet gala awards ceremony at Shanghai Dolly at Clarke Quay. In addition to HD Sony camcorders, the champ received an internship with Jack Neo's J-Team Productions. A representative from Mica also gave out grants worth up to $50,000 to the winners in that category.Film buffs and fans, film-makers and family and supporters, all came out in full force to celebrate the magic of movies. The stars came out for the awards night - Irene Ang, Terence Cao, Kumar, Cynthia Lee, Mark Lee and Henry Thia, as well as 91.3's Married Men DJs and The New Paper New Face ladies were in attendance too. Little Amos, only 13 years old, bagged the biggest prize - FFF Best Short Film - at the event with his hilarious one-man show, Jan.FFF is a great platform for Singapore short film-makers. We're looking forward to the next year's FFF!(text via The New Paper)
