About Us
SGNewWave
SGNewWave is the brainchild of a group of film enthusiasts from Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s School of Film and Media Studies, hoping to revolutionize the way Singaporeans view films and eventually create a culture of avid film-goers who seek out even the small films showing in obscure places around Singapore. Taking a leaf from the Cahiers du Cinema whose well-informed and comprehensive critiques on movies paved the way for the French New Wave; we hope that in the same way, Singapore will also experience its own Nouvelle Vague through sharing our understanding of the language of cinema. By exposing young Singaporeans to the film scholar’s perception of a film, we aspire to open up their minds to the subtext of a movie and allow them to see how intricate movies can be or simply why a movie deserves the acclaim it deserves or why it should belong in the dump. With SGNewWave, we want to challenge upcoming filmmakers to break out of the conventions of cinema and create something different and redefine the local cinema. SGNewWave is composed of students with different capabilities: journalism, public relations, marketing, web design and video productions; all of us working together towards our goal of spreading the love of cinema, and creating our own film movement.

Hi!
I’m interested to know more about the club. Can one turn up for movie screenings without being a member? Is there any minimum attendance one must have per month if one becomes a member?
Anyone, member or not, can come to the screenings. We will like to see dedication if you want to be a member, maybe come to meetings once a month?
