Women in Film 2018 Screenings
Women in Film is part of Objectifs’ annual Women in Film and Photography showcase. With the backdrop of collective movements like #MeToo and #TimesUp gaining momentum in the past year, the fourth edition of this programme takes on the theme of collective power.
The Women in Film 2018 programme presents the Singapore premieres of four international feature films and a free short film programme that demonstrate both the potential and perils of community and visibility, and the triumph that collective power makes possible. Curated by Leong Puiyee.
