(blank) Experimental Film Festival is kickstarting its inaugural first edition in Singapore. In collaboration with the BIDEODROMO Experimental Film Festival in Bilbao, Spain, the festival aims to provide a platform for experimental films in Southeast Asia, while establishing a meaningful bridge to the European experimental circuit, providing the artists opportunities in two markets. The festival will champion a programme of the unconventional and avant garde, led by festival director Raey Ang. It will be a three-day festival with 3 categories: Main, Student and "Exhumed". "Exhumed" will subvert the traditional ask for films from the last two years that most festivals do, and program films that have been made in the region that are older than 5 years but have never been seen before.
As part of the collaboration, part of the Main program will screen at the BIDEODROMO Experimental Film Festival, and part of the Student program will screen at the University of Basque County this year. For "Exhumed", selected work will be screened as part of the collaboration at the Guggenheim (Bilbao) later this year as well.
By having this festival, we hope fans of experimental cinema who have been craving to watch more will answer the call, as well as new audiences who are able to come and find out for themselves what experimental film is for themselves.
Looking for:
- films made in Southeast Asia
- less than 30 minutes
- animation/live-action both welcome
No entry fees. All are welcome. Deadline is 30th June 2026.
