About the Youth Jury & Critics Programme
SGIFF’s Youth Jury & Critics Programme seeks to nurture a new generation of critical writers on cinema from the region. The workshop will take place on Saturday each week from 31st October, as well as 28th and 29th November. Participants will be educated on the historical and cultural significance of past and present Southeast Asian works, how film theory and close readings of films greatly benefit film writing for a wider audience, as well as different interviewing approaches. The Programme will culminate in a live film journal created by the participants on the festival’s website, Youth Meets Film, extensively covering the works in competition in the Southeast Asian Short Film Competition.
Finally, the Youth Jury will vote on the Youth Jury Prize-winning film during the Silver Screen Awards. This year’s Youth Jury & Critics Programme is organised in partnership with the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, Nanyang Technological University, and will be led by UK-based film academic and curator, May Adadol Ingawanij (Thailand).
