Film Sector

Singapore's potential for developing exportable media content is supported by its rich cultural backdrop, inspiring creative output with international appeal. Attesting to this is Singapore’s growing success in the worldwide film industry, with films like A Land Imagined and Pop Aye receiving accolades at acclaimed film festivals such as the Locarno International Film Festival and the Sundance Film Festival.

Expanding collaborative efforts between local and international film companies have united resources from co-producing countries, enabling Singapore filmmakers to participate in projects of international standing. International film production and service companies have also set up locally to harness our creative expertise and talents.

SFC develops the industry and nurtures high-potential talents to build a strong brand of "Made-with-Singapore" content recognised locally and internationally, thus raising the profile of SIngapore's media sector. The support includes:
