A duck leading her ducklings through a colourful Peranakan courtyard. A quiet scene of children playing in nature. Fifty-one works of art, and fifty-one very different roads that led to them. On 30 July, the North East Community Development Council (NE CDC) and the Lim Family Foundation (LFF) came together at the Kiat Lim–Shaping Hearts Awards (KLSHA) 2026 to honour 51 artists with disabilities, handing out a combined S$126,000 in grants across three award tiers — Shining, En

There's a particular kind of cinematographer who thinks in emotion before they think in equipment — who sees a scene and feels its temperature before they ever call for a light stand. Bao Le Cheok is one of those. Ask her about a scene from a surrealist horror-comedy shot on 35mm film, and she won't start with the Panavision Millennium XL2 or the Kodak stock. She'll start with the feeling the frame needed to hold.

MINDEF has introduced three new volunteer pathways for people in the performing arts and live events industry — including dancers, musicians, singers, emcees, and behind-the-scenes talent in sound engineering, live video, multi-camera operations and stage management.

A commentary for FLUX Media There's a particular kind of vertigo that comes from watching two clocks run at once. One is the clock of technology, which now moves so fast that a tool I learned last quarter is already the "old way" of doing something. The other is the clock of a life — mine, my friends', the people I grew up with in Singapore who are, one by one, starting to disappear. Lately I've been sitting with both clocks running at the same time, and I wanted to write dow

In an era where younger audiences are increasingly tuning out traditional advertising, PropertyGuru has demonstrated that authentic storytelling may be one of the most effective ways to build meaningful brand engagement. The property technology company recently revealed that it was the creative force behind The Moving Out Show, a nine-part microdrama series released on newly created TikTok and Instagram accounts without any visible branding. The campaign deliberately avoided

Abigail Chay: No Publicity Is Bad Publicity — Except Silence

It was exhilarating, it's quite addictive... and by no means something to take for granted as well, since it's not every day that you get a listing... On this particular listing, I closed it with 1 viewing. Of course, I do not expect this to a be a norm (for sure it is not every time that you can close after 1 viewing) What is important is I took away from the process which, to share three things are: 1.⁠ ⁠Use my TV Directing experience. It's not irrelevant. As TV directors,

2026 will not be remembered as just another year of disruption. It will be remembered as the year the entertainment and media industry finally stopped chasing technology — and started redefining meaning. Audiences are more fragmented, creators are more empowered, and platforms are no longer just distributors but cultural architects. In this shifting landscape, Flux Media identifies five defining trends that will shape how stories are created, consumed, and valued in 2026. 1.

Student films are often described as a space for learning, experimentation and growth. And they should be. Many of today’s working filmmakers in Singapore took their first creative risks there. But somewhere along the way, a problematic norm has taken root — one that quietly places the burden of “learning” disproportionately on actors. It has become increasingly common for student film productions to require self-taped auditions, followed by unpaid rehearsals, sometimes even
