Documentary "I Remember: The Fall of Singapore" to screen at the ICAS 12 Film Festival in Kyoto

I Remember: The Fall of Singapore, directed by Michel Cayla, produced by Panuksmi Hardjowirogo and written and co-produced by Mark Frost will be showing this August as part of the ICAS 12 Film Festival in Kyoto.

The ICAS 12 Film Festival

Asia is one of the world’s richest areas for diversity and has undergone intense and rapid transformation over in the first two decades of the 21st century. How these changes are captured by filmmakers help stimulate dialogues on issues that people hold close to them in everyday life. For ICAS 12 the Visual Documentary Project has teamed up for a second time to offer a selection of works from across Asia and other parts of the world. We offer a selection of contemporary documentaries and films that touch upon issues of justice, love, popular culture, memory across Asia and further afield. This year’s event also has a Japanese theme. We bring together works by Japanese filmmakers working in Japan and across Asia to highlight the different approaches to issues in the region.
