About Film Facilitation Programme (FFP)

Started in 2020, the Film Facilitation Programme is part of *SCAPE’s continuous effort to (i) further support the National Youth Film Awards alumni, (ii) bridge youths to the industry through mentorship and guidance, and (iii) build closer-knit community and foster learnings amongst fellow youths. 

The most promising Singaporean filmmakers tackle different genres under the mentorship of internationally celebrated filmmakers. Spanning the genres of Comedy, Horror, Thriller, Documentary, Action, Animation and Drama, each short announces a fresh new voice in Singapore.
