Made-with-Singapore short film enters Cannes Film Festival
The Straits Times
|May 10, 2025
A made-with-Singapore short film has been selected to screen at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival's independent sidebar event, the Directors' Fortnight.
Before The Sea Forgets is directed by Vietnamese filmmaker Le Ngoc Duy and produced by Singapore production houses 13 Little Pictures and WBSB Films.
The film, set in Vietnam, is a magical realist story of a young man who suspects his lover of infidelity. While searching for a forgotten grave with family secrets, he meets a ghost who forces him to reflect on disturbing truths about his partner.
Singaporeans involved in the film include co-producer Looi Wan Ping and film colourist Eugene Seah.
The short film joins two made-with-Singapore feature films, Renoir and A Useful Ghost, screening at this year's Cannes, which runs from May 13 to 24 and is held in Cannes, France.
Renoir, co-produced by Singapore-based Akanga Films Asia, is among the 21 films selected for the main competition section from over 2,900 submissions worldwide.
