LENSCAPE

LENScape: Documentary Shorts from Southeast Asia is a new short film programme that celebrates the creative spirit of the documentary form. Co-organised by Objectifs and In-Docs, the selected short films will screen in Indonesia within November 2024 to February 2025, and Singapore in March 2025. The programme welcomes films of all topics and themes.

Films with environmental and youth themes will have the opportunity to win the inaugural Silvana S Film Award from the Silvana S Foundation, a non-profit organisation that empowers photographers and filmmakers in Asia Pacific. Worth SGD$8,000, the award will be presented to a documentary filmmaker whose film responds to the theme, ‘Connecting Threads’. The theme acknowledges the myriad ways in which we are linked with others and the environment, exploring how we each have an impact on our communities, including our youth and non-human species.

Submissions will be assessed by Objectifs, In-Docs and an external curator, Komtouch Dew Napattaloong.
