The Singapore International Film Festival (Sgiff) is wrapping up its exciting 27th year and recently announced the winners of its Silver Screen Awards.
Asian Feature Film Competition
Bagging the Best Film award in the feature category is Nepalese drama “White Sun” (Seto Surya). Directed by Deepak Rauniyar, “White Sun” is an exceptional portrait of post-civil war Nepal. It is an inspiring film that champions a better and more peaceful future for children.
Wicaksono Wisnu Legowo’s debut picture “Turah” was given Special Mention by the jury. Set in a small village struggling to survive, this Indonesian film is a poignant exploration of corruption and hypocrisy in society.
Bangladeshi feature “Live from Dhaka” scored the Best Director award for Abdullah Mohammad Saad and Best Performance for Mostafa Monwar. Saad’s debut follows a partially handicapped man who wrestles between morality and self-preservation.
