15 Shorts – Stories From The City Of Good
Fifteen Singapore filmmakers have come together in a ground-up effort to a show a lesser-told side of Singaporeans from the 1970s to the 1990s. Through 15 Shorts, a collaboration between the National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre (NVPC) and Blue3Asia, the 15 film directors will provide an alternative perspective to the nation-building narratives of the era.
Watch these slice-of-life stories from our City of Good, as they unveil how a giving side has always been a part of us as humans.
In the spirit of giving, each director has further dedicated his or her film to a charity in Singapore.
