Film


With the dramatic revival of filmmaking in Singapore, our cinematic talents are creating a buzz worldwide. We show you what they have to offer...

Singapore is proving to be a fertile ground for developing exportable media content. Its rich cultural backdrop acts as a kaleidoscope of inspiration, fuelling creative output with international appeal. Singapore’s growing success in the worldwide film industry attests to this, with homegrown films such as Sandcastle, HERE, My Magic, Hashi and The Blue Mansion selected for and receiving accolades at acclaimed film festivals like the Cannes Film Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam and Pusan International Film Festival.

Collaborative efforts between local and international film companies have made similar progressive inroads in the industry. Some of the notable co-productions include:

Bait, Singapore's first co-production with Australia on a 3D Stereoscopic platform; participating companies include Arclight films, Blackmagic Design (Singapore), Pictures in Paradise and Story Bridge Films.
One Last Dance, co-produced by Singapore’s MediaCorp Raintree Pictures and China’s Ming Productions, and selected to compete at the Sundance Film Festival.
The Missing Star, co-produced by Singapore’s Oak3 Films and Italy’s Cattleya that competed at the Venice International Film Festival.

	Dance of the Dragon A courageous love story of a Korean boy arriving in Singapore to fulfil his dream of becoming a ballroom dancer and the struggles he must go through to pursue his passion – and the woman he loves.

Name of Content: Dance of the Dragon Synopsis: Korean country boy Tae has dreamed of being a famous ballroom dancer since his first encounter with the beautiful art form when he was a young boy. Twenty years later, self taught with the aid of dance videos, Tae knows the only way to take the next step is to leave Korea for Singapore where he can be trained by Emi Lim, a former ballroom dancing champion forced into early retirement due to an injury and now renowned for her ability to take dancers to great heights. As the only student in the class without a partner, Tae sometimes partners Emi in training. Before long it becomes apparent that he has developed feelings for her. Too professional to be involved with a student, Emi continues with her efforts to train her dancers for the upcoming national ballroom dancing championship. Tae struggles with life in his new environment so far away from home, from finding a place to live, to locking down a job to survive. He is beset with obstacles, but none looms larger than Cheng – Emi’s boyfriend and former martial arts champion. Cheng’s concern for Emi has him take a watchful and protective approach over matters concerning her. Threatened by the new student, Cheng warns Tae to stay away from ‘his girl’. It is a warning that soon turns to threats. Dance of the Dragon – starring Korean heartthrob Jang Hyuk, Singapore’s Fann Wong and Hollywood’s Jason Scott Lee – is an inspiring love story set amidst other tender and multi-dimensional relationships. The initial sparks of what could be a new romance plays off against a couple falling out of love. A student and teacher, a father and son, a mother’s influence and competing suitors. All are explored with sensitivity, delicacy and refined artistry.
