Anniversary Screenings: SENSES OF THE SOUL

	JOURNEY OF A KAVADI BEARER DIR. NAVIN DANIAL NYFA 2015 \| Best Documentary Singapore / 2015 / 12:11 / English / PG13 Journey of a Kavadi Bearer is a documentary of Michael Lim, a Taoist medium that takes part in the annual Hindu festival, Thaipusam. Join us on Michael’s journey on spirituality and his affinity with Hinduism, teaching us that all religion is one.
	SLEEP IS A WASTE OF TIME DIR. CHEW JIA HUI NYFA 2021 (Open Youth) \| Best Editing Singapore / 2021 / 13:16 / English / PG Meet Nick, a musician / inventor / photographer / multihyphenate who lives through a crazy 20-hour schedule every single day. He resolves to live his life to the fullest — and takes it to another level, so much so that he sees sleep as a waste of time.
	NO REGRET DIR. LEE KIAN PING NYFA 2016 \| Best Colour Grading Singapore / 2016 / 4:00 / Mandarin / PG A father and son’s relationship is affected due to the son’s dream of being a musician.
	SUM OF OUR PARTS DIR. OLIVIA TAN JIA YI NYFA 2021 (Student) \| Best Documentary Singapore / 2021 / 17:27 / Singapore / PG13 Against the backdrop of pragmatic Singapore, four local performance artists introduce their unconventional practice—the use of the body as a vessel for artistic expression.
	THE PARADE DIR. RYAN BENJAMIN LEE NYFA 2023 (Open Youth) \| Best Editing Singapore / 2023 / 5:15 / English / PG In Singapore, politics is seen as a cautious dance. However, in this lively film, the city becomes a vibrant street parade filled with pop culture, karaoke and colour.
	BODHI DIR. ZHEN YU PNG NYFA 2019 (Student) \| Best Original Music Singapore / 2019 / 18:00 / English / PG Li Ping, a single mother with big dreams for her only son, is left disappointed when he expresses his desire to become a monk.
	THE BELIEVERS DIR. DAVE LIM NYFA 2020 (Open Youth) \| Best Documentary Singapore / 2020 / 16:01 / Mandarin, Hokkien English / PG The Believers is a film on documenting a plethora of emotions in the midst of rituals. Between mundanity, exuberance and absurdity, The Believers searches for an underlying humanity, by crashing spheres of human existence that conjoin the worlds of the secular and the religious.

As part of the Singapore Youth Film Festival, organised by *SCAPE in partnership with Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF), this special retrospective screening showcases some of the best film submissions since National Youth Film Awards’ (NYFA) inception at Somerset Youth Park, as part of Nightflix Somerset.

Over three weekends (3 August, 7 September, 5 October), these screenings of NYFA-winning films are a unique opportunity that invites filmgoers to step out of their comfort zones and immerse themselves in the evolution of local cinematography over the last nine years.

SENSES OF THE SOUL
Art and religion have profoundly shaped Singapore’s identity, weaving together the physical and the
philosophical. In this rich tapestry of the soul and the senses, a collective consciousness emerges, forging
new pathways of understanding.
