•DDB Singapore presents A Folder Films Project In conjunction with the 1st Singapore Short Film Awards A nod to 15.
The essence of storytelling requires no special effects or complex computer graphics. All it needs is a basic thought and an open mind. Here, we've simply put together a piece with the help of an everyday tool: computer folders. And as a first, it tells a short story most of us are familiar with; the chaotic life of youth gangs on the fringe of Singapore society.

The Singapore Short Film Awards

The Singapore Short Film Awards will re-cap all that’s happened in the Singapore short film scene in 2009! It’ll be a screening for posterity’s sake, nostalgia or just for the hectic of experiencing a slice of yesteryear on film. There will be screenings, awards, winners and prizes!

The SSFA is an independent effort by two major Singapore film contributors who have garnered the support of film community to make this event happen. This year’s SSFA supporters and sponsors include production company The Shooting Gallery Asia, post-production house Infinite Frameworks and Face to Face (apbcOffices). Filmmaker Eric Khoo will honour the event as Guest-of-Honour.
