Lights, Camera, Action! Perspectives Film Festival 2023 Takes Center Stage at Oldham Theatre

Get ready for a cinematic extravaganza as Perspectives Film Festival (PFF) returns for its 16th edition, promising to be bigger and better than ever. As Singapore’s first and longest-running student-run film festival, PFF is back with a bang, and this year, it’s all about celebrating the art of sound in cinema. So, mark your calendars for 26 – 29 October 2023, because Oldham Theatre is where the magic is happening.

Opening Night: Perfect Days (2023) by Wim Wenders

PFF 2023 kicks off with a Southeast Asian premiere that’s bound to captivate your senses. “Perfect Days” (2023), the latest masterpiece by legendary filmmaker Wim Wenders, takes center stage. Dive into a cosmopolitan tale that follows a janitor through his monotonous life, where curated soundtracks become his lifeline. It’s a sensory experience you won’t want to miss.

A Cinematic Journey Through Sound

But that’s just the beginning. PFF 2023 has a thrilling lineup that will leave cinephiles buzzing with excitement. Prepare to be moved by Derek Jarman’s final film, “Blue” (1993), and travel back in time with “Trances” (1981), a Moroccan band’s story, which also happens to be the first restoration project for none other than Martin Scorsese’s World Cinema Project.
