This year, the Singapore Chinese Film Festival 2022 (SCFF 2022) celebrates its 10th year of bringing Chinese cinema to Singapore, presenting yet more new films to the local audience. Co-organised by SUSS and the Singapore Film Society, the SCFF 2022 was held from April 29 to May 8.
This year’s films of various genres and cross-region backgrounds consisted of works of veteran and budding filmmakers from China, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, Taiwan and Singapore. With English subtitles provided in most of the films, the SCFF 2022 hoped to create a wider awareness of and interest in Chinese culture, heritage, and communities.

Apart from the regular segments of Chinese Panorama, Documentary Vision and Chinese Shorts Showcase, one of the special additions this year was a sub-segment comprising three films that used filmmakers as the subject in focus. This was accompanied by a panel discussion named ‘Tales of Filmmakers’.
Eagerly-anticipated feature films ‘May You Stay Forever Young (少年)’ and ‘Money Boys (金钱男孩)’, as well as a restored classic ‘Lan Yu (蓝宇)’, were sold out within the first two days of advance ticket sales before the festival opened.

The easing of COVID-19 safe management measures which allowed cinemas to operate at full-seating capacity once again, brought in yet more people to attend the SCFF 2022. The director and producer of ‘Far Far Away (缘路山旮旯)’, Mr Amos Why and Ms Teresa Kwong, even flew to Singapore to grace the screening of their film and participate in the post-screening Q&A session.

The SCFF 2022 was yet another resounding success, thanks to all our partners: the Chinese Language & Culture Fund, Lee Foundation and Taipei Representative Office in Singapore, venue and programme partners, presenting and school partners, members of Singapore Film Society, and nine SUSS students who took up the SCFF internship under the Film Studies Minor programme.

由新跃社科大学及新加坡电影协会联合主办的2022年新加坡华语电影节于4月29日开幕，并在5月8日圆满落幕。今年迈入第十届的新加坡华语电影节在这十年来为新加坡观众呈现了无数从未在本地院线公映过的华语影片。
本届电影节展映的影片来自中国、香港、澳门、马来西亚、台湾及新加坡等地，资深及新晋电影人的长、短作品皆有，题材丰富，风格迥异，也有跨区域合作的创作。大部分的影片均有配上英文字幕，电影节希望能借此增进不谙华族语言的人士对中华文化、传统及华人社群的了解。
除了“华夏风情画”、“纪录片视角”和“华流短片展”三个常设单元外，本届电影节的特别单元之一是以电影的人、事、物作为创作题材的“电影人电影”子单元。电影节也举办了“与电影人一席谈：电影人电影的真假和难易”座谈会，让多位创作者现身说法和大家讲讲这类型电影的魅力和精彩。
备受期待的两部长片《少年》和《金钱男孩》，以及4K修复版的经典作品《蓝宇》在门票开始预售的两天内售罄。
随着当局放宽防疫措施，电影院的座位可全部开放使用，让更多人能够观赏到电影节的影片。爱情喜剧《缘路山旮旯》的导演黄浩然先生及制片邝珮诗女士也专程飞到新加坡，亲临该作品的放映场次，并与观众作面对面的映后交流。
第十届新加坡华语电影节能够成功举行，有赖于各方的鼎力支持，包括中华语言文化基金、李氏基金、驻新加坡台北代表处，场地/节目伙伴，学校/呈现伙伴，新加坡电影协会的多名成员，还有参与新加坡华语电影节实习计划的九名新跃社科大学学生。电影节也非常感谢观众和粉丝这些年来的踊跃支持。
