Since its gala premiere on Aug 5, a series of free screenings has been held at community hubs and centres. It did not get a theatrical release here.

Kopitiam Days made its international premiere at the Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF) on Oct 30, where it screened in the World Focus section, which showcases films that reflect current trends in world cinema.

TIFF kicked off on Oct 27 and runs until Nov 5.

Closed-door screenings of the film had also been held for Singaporeans abroad at Singapore embassies and High Commissions, including those in Bangladesh and Australia, according to its producer Clover Films.
