Tickets to home-grown films at upcoming film fest can also be bought with its credits
SingLit books will be eligible for SG Culture Pass credits from March 1, 2026, while tickets to homegrown films screened at the Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF), starting on Nov 26, can also be bought using the credits.
Acting Minister for Culture, Community and Youth David Neo made the announcement on Nov 7 at the opening of the Singapore Writers Festival (SWF), where he was the guest of honour.
The expansion of the government scheme, which gives Singaporeans aged 18 and above $100 each to spend on arts and heritage experiences, comes after months of talks with those in the book and film industries.
Books that qualify include fiction, poetry, plays and literary short essays in all four official languages authored by a Singapore citizen or permanent resident, and this applies only to physical copies bought at participating bookshops.
The SGIFF film programmes that qualify must be of feature length and directed, produced or written by a Singapore citizen or permanent resident, or be adapted from Singaporean intellectual property.
