From Southeast Asia to the Big Apple, join NYAFF to celebrate Singapore’s 60th not with fireworks, but with film. You will also get a chance to have a taste of Southeast Asia with some light bites and snacks. Join us after the North American premiere of Perang Kota This City Is a Battlefield as acclaimed director Mouly Surya will join us and speak about the film. SEA Reel Social is a special reception hosted by the Singapore Global Network in collaboration with the New York Asian Film Festival. It’s not just a birthday bash—it’s a toast to Southeast Asia’s rich cinematic storytelling and Singapore’s growing role as a connector of cultures and communities around the world.
