It\u2019s usually held between late November and early December. But this year\u2019s edition moves forward to 21 October to 1 November 2026. The date change is intended to give independent and auteur films a better theatrical window, allowing them to reach local audiences without competing directly with the year-end slate of major Hollywood releases.<\/p>\n<p>SGIFF\u2019s 37th edition brings over 100 films from more than 50 countries, including more than 25 Singapore productions. Highlights include Ang Geck Geck\u2019s Ah Girl, which follows a seven-year-old navigating her parents\u2019 separation in 1990s Singapore, Nelson Yeo\u2019s genre-bending The House on the Moon, and Kamila Andini\u2019s Four Seasons in Java, a Singapore co-production starring Putri Marino and Christine Hakim.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_342953\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-342953\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-342953 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/09\/sgiff-2026-ah-girl-film-still-900x643.png\" alt=\"Film still from Ah Girl | Singapore International Film Festival 2026\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/09\/sgiff-2026-ah-girl-film-still-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/09\/sgiff-2026-ah-girl-film-still-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/09\/sgiff-2026-ah-girl-film-still.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-342953\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ah Girl.

Look forward to local animation, experimental filmmaking and stories spanning everything from family and identity to memory and urban life.<\/p>\n<p>The Asian Feature Film Competition is another major draw, with 10 films from emerging and established directors across the region. Elsewhere, Standpoint brings together seven films that explore the intersection of the personal and the sociopolitical, while Horizon takes a wider view of modern world cinema with 17 films from the international festival circuit. If you\u2019re after something a little more crowd-pleasing, Foreground puts genre front and centre across 10 films spanning action, fantasy, horror and more.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"new-sections-bring-cinema-beyond-the-screen\"><\/span>New sections bring cinema beyond the screen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_342954\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-342954\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-342954 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/09\/sgiff-2026-brave-cat-film-still-900x643.png\" alt=\"Film still from Brave Cat | Singapore International Film Festival 2026\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/09\/sgiff-2026-brave-cat-film-still-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/09\/sgiff-2026-brave-cat-film-still-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/09\/sgiff-2026-brave-cat-film-still.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-342954\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brave Cat.
