The Singapore Film Commission (SFC)’s 25th anniversary documentary will delve into the journey of Singaporean cinema over the past 25 years and showcase its impact on Asian cinema.

The 45-minute documentary, titled Singapore Films: To The World And Back, will feature exclusive interviews with Singapore’s best-known industry veterans, including Jack Neo, Anthony Chen, Eric Khoo, Nicole Midori Woodford, Teh Su Ching, Raihan Halim, Janice Chua and Tan Si En.
