The Singapore Film Commission (SFC), part of the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), is charged with developing Singapore’s film industry and nurturing filmmaking talent. It is advised by a committee comprising members from the film, arts and cultural community. Since 1998, the SFC has supported more than 800 short films, scripts, feature films, as well as film-related events in Singapore that showcase home-grown talent and works. Some notable films by Singapore filmmakers include POP AYE (Kirsten Tan), Ramen Teh (Eric Khoo), A Land Imagined (Yeo Siew Hua), Ilo Ilo (Anthony Chen), the Ah Boys to Men series (Jack Neo), and 881 (Royston Tan).

As part of its industry development role, SFC administers grants that are aimed at supporting filmmakers to build up their portfolio and experience through the production of content projects, as well as supporting filmmakers’ training and skills upgrading at internationally renowned film labs and project development platforms. Since 2019, SFC’s grant for Southeast Asia co-productions has also encouraged feature film collaborations between Singapore creative producers and Southeast Asian filmmakers.
