Singapore Youth Film Festival

A networking platform where budding youth filmmakers nurture and hone their craft, with opportunities to connect to the local and regional industry.

The National Youth Film Awards (NYFA) is a national award that celebrates excellence among youth talents who are highly adept in their respective fields across the various aspects of filmmaking in Singapore. It seeks to instill a greater appreciation of film, fuel the passion for filmmaking, and generates opportunities for further development in their craft. NYFA is an important stepping stone in

these emerging filmmakers’ journey, and through it, they get to connect with industry partners and gain greater visibility, be it for festivals or commercial opportunities. To date, more than 1,800 submissions have been received across the Student and Open Youth categories.

MINT Lumens Season 2 2026: Heroes for Tomorrow

Following a successful inaugural run of Season 1: Return to the Museum, featuring Godzilla Raids Again (1955), MINT Lumens returns in May 2026 with Season 2: Heroes for Tomorrow - a three-part cinematic journey.

The season moves from the chaotic destruction of Godzilla in May, to a more introspective new wave in June, culminating in the rise of heroic protectors like Kamen Rider and Ultraman in July—an evolution from uncertainty to imagination, and ultimately, heroism.

Beginning in May 2026, the season introduces the chaotic world of early tokusatsu, where towering monsters and unknown forces wreak havoc on cities. Experience classic thrills in films like Invasion of Astro-Monster (1965) and Ebirah, Horror of the Deep (1966), as heroes and humans navigate a world overrun by colossal creatures.

Tickets are available here: https://emint.com/mint-lumens/
