Not one but three Singapore films will be flying the flag proudly at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, arguably the most prestigious film festival in the world.
Piece Of Meat, an animated short film directed by Singaporean filmmakers Huang Junxiang and Jerrold Chong, has been selected for the festival’s Directors’ Fortnight section. Written by veteran Singapore auteur Eric Khoo, Piece Of Meat is one of the 10 short films vying for the €2,500 (S$3,800) ILLY prize.
The aim of the section, according to Directors’ Fortnight artistic director Paolo Moretti, is “to establish new directors and new types of film in Cannes” and “to showcase brilliant and visionary works”.
