In Southeast Asia, Singapore has emerged as a prime place for film production. With a slew of media companies setting up offices, Singaporean names are emerging in the film and television industries. With high-profile events and conferences on the rise, Lion City is quickly becoming a global force in the increasingly high-staking game of content creation. World Film Carnival finds that the time is in favour to have a large and permanent showcase in Singapore. For our filmmakers, it is vital that their work gets screened within some of the most famous thriving film business-oriented metropolitan cities of the world.
WORD FILM CARNIVAL - SINGAPORE offers you, particularly the Indie filmmakers, to get a live screening of your film in front of a large audience, get prestigious awards and international recognition. The fastest-growing film festival in Asia aims to showcase emerging filmmakers’ talents with a 3 days celebration in a 100% audience choice awards platform at several interesting and prestigious screening-locations. Not only this, WFC – Singapore will take you to global platforms through its wide range of global film distribution networks.
WFC – Singapore is a monthly live screening film festival. Each month more than 50 films from the different categories are officially selected and out of them, at least one per category is awarded. Most representatives are monthly screened at a prestigious venue in Singapore and are rated on their respective IMDB pages (if applicable). All these monthly winners are automatically qualified for the annual live screening gala in the Lion City and can be nominated for the prestigious GOLDEN MERLION AWARDS (the best of the best). The annual event is a glamorous red carpet premiere with press conferences and gala parties in Singapore in the presence of international movie celebrities and media. The participants have excellent opportunities to exchange their ideas, ideologies and cultural diversities. The winners have a chance to meet with the audience and participate in Q&A after the screening for a healthy discussion about the film.
