SG New Wave, the second generation0

The SG New Wave web­site has reached its first year of exis­tence and we have grown up! After some intense brain­storm­ing, the sec­ond gen­er­a­tion team intends to make SG New Wave more alive than ever. As a guardian and admirer of the team’s energy, I am very proud of the stu­dents’ accom­plish­ments, research and hard work. Over the last year, the group orga­nized many screen­ings and events, amongst which one screen­ing lasted for 24 hours! Without a doubt, the orga­niz­ers and the movie­go­ers who stayed overnight demon­strated their deep­est pas­sion for movies. We have also mem­bers of our team who have cov­ered DVD launches, filmmaker’s sem­i­nars, film fes­ti­vals in Singapore and Hong Kong and inter­views with pro­fes­sion­als from the inter­na­tional film indus­try. In addi­tion to this, our edi­tor was admit­ted to the pres­ti­gious Berlinale Talent Campus and he was on site in Berlin to cover the 2007 Berlin International Film Festival. Overall, their achieve­ments have been over­whelm­ing and the expe­ri­ence tremen­dously enrich­ing. You can see the fruits of their work and expe­ri­ences show­cased on our web­site. A sec­ond gen­er­a­tion team has cur­rently taken over and intends to trans­form and make SG New Wave more excit­ing. They have come up with a new and more inter­ac­tive web­site, in which they have inte­grated their pod­casts, forums for dis­cus­sion and stu­dents’ movies. The group is also reach­ing out to its audi­ence by orga­niz­ing weekly SG New Wave screen­ings. It has become tremen­dously pop­u­lar and it is a weekly event not to be missed. My hope is that the SG New Wave web­site demon­strates our love for movies and our move­ment in film. Melanie Morrissette –Sg New Wave founder
