Synopsis

7 Letters is a 2015 Singaporean anthology drama film directed by seven different directors. The film comprises seven heartfelt ‘love letters’ to Singapore, capturing each of the directors’ personal and poignant connection with the place they call home, in celebration of Singapore’s 50th anniversary. The seven stories tell of our heartland and its people through tales of lost love, identity, inter-generational familial bonds and tensions, unlikely neighbours, and even references to traditional folklore. The film was selected as the Singaporean entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards.

 

There is a post-show dialogue session with Directors - Boo Junfeng, K Rajagoopal and Royston Tan.

 

Film Screening: 3pm - 5pm
