6-8 Nov @ Oldham Theatre & GV Cineleisure | Singapore’s first and longest-running student-led film festival

Perspectives Film Festival — Breakthroughs in Cinema is an annual practicum course run by the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information (WKWSCI), and organised by undergraduates from Nanyang Technological University (NTU). Perspectives Film Festival gives students the skills and hands-on experience of organising a curated film festival. The concept of Breakthroughs is broadly interpreted and can mean films that were the cinematic best or first examples either historically, technically, artistically, conceptually or narratively. Breakthroughs can also be interpreted to mean films that aim to change the status quo in their form and/or content. Students work individually and as part of a team to program and organize the festival, gaining valuable insight and real-life practice of the various aspects of putting a film festival together, including programming, ticketing, publicity and marketing, fundraising, budgeting and financial fiscal management, audience development and exhibition.

Across its recent editions, the Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF) has brought audiences bold, boundary-pushing cinema, including David Cronenberg’s The Shrouds (2024), Bi Gan’s Resurrection (2025) and Edwin’s Sleep No More (2026).

If you’re missing Singapore Int'l Film Festival, fret not! Perspectives Film Festival (PFF) 2026 is bringing you earlier works by Cronenberg and Bi Gan, plus a film for fans of Sleep No More.

If The Shrouds caught your attention at SGIFF, revisit David Cronenberg’s provocative classic Crash — now in a new 4K restoration, celebrating 30 years since its release.

Probing the dark and unconventional sides of human desire, Crash is the one to watch.

What does progress leave behind? 🚌💫

In her article, Xiao Le from the Perspectives 2026 Editorial Team reflects on Kidlat Tahimik’s PERFUMED NIGHTMARE, where technology and progress are not as attractive as they seem.

Moving beyond a critique of Western progress that comes at the cost of tradition and culture, PERFUMED NIGHTMARE reclaims autonomy to redefine how we understand progress.

We can’t look away. Neither can you 👁️💥

In her article, Elicia from the Perspectives 2026 Editorial Team explores David Cronenberg’s CRASH, where the automobile becomes an object of obsession.

In an age of endless scrolling, our screens start to look a lot like CRASH’s automobiles: technologies that reshape how we see the world, and vehicles for our darker impulses.

In the Rearview Episode 4: The Dream of Motion ✈️

Freedom isn’t always a destination. Sometimes it’s the feeling of letting go.

For John Lim, a pilot with the Singapore Youth Flying Club, motion has always meant something bigger than getting from A to B. In this episode, he reflects on the journeys that stay with us and what it means to feel truly free.

Is freedom a place, or a feeling?
