Overview
- The Infocomm Media Development Authority named We Are All Strangers Singapore’s official submission for Best International Feature Film, a decision announced by the agency on Friday.
- A Selection Committee drawn from eligible members of the Singapore Film Commission Advisory Committee made the pick and IMDA’s assistant chief executive Yvonne Tang urged Singaporeans to watch and support the film.
- Anthony Chen wrote and directed the film, which completes his Growing Up trilogy and stars Yeo Yann Yann and Koh Jia Ler with Andi Lim and Regene Lim in the cast.
- We Are All Strangers opened in Singapore in August, became the first Singaporean title in Berlinale’s main competition earlier this year, is screening at TIFF for its North American debut, and has world sales handled by Paradise City Sales with Film Movement holding North American rights.
- The national submission gives the film a formal platform for an Oscar campaign and wider releases, so next steps to watch are its festival reviews, distributor-led campaigning in key markets, and rollout dates outside Singapore.
