Utter, the annual pre-festival programme that celebrates Singaporean literature adapted into other artforms, returns this year to spotlight four short stories made into new films, directed by local filmmakers Wee Li Lin, Sanif Olek, Don Aravind, and Kenny Tan, and produced by Nicholas Chee. Each director has adapted a short story in one of the national languages of Singapore.

The films take their inspiration from short stories by Singapore writers Gopal Baratham, Muhammad Salihin Sulaiman, Kamaladevi Aravindhan, and Lin Jin. Past editions of Utter have featured Singapore literary works through the genre of theatre. Utter 2014 is presented by the Singapore Writers Festival (SWF) and produced by Sinema Media.

The Utter 2014 Screening features a selection of four Singapore literary works adapted into short films, directed by four of our best local filmmakers – Wee Li Lin, Sanif Olek, Don Aravind, and Kenny Tan, and produced by Nicholas Chee. Each screening will be followed by a discussion with the directors and writers.

Cost: $10 (10% discount for students and seniors)
When: 1st – 6th September 2014 @ The Arts House

All films will be screened each day.

Gary is one of those proverbial jack of all trades… you know the rest. When not writing about lifestyle and culture, he dabbles in photography, graphic design, plays four instruments and is a professional wearer of bowties. His greatest weakness: spending more money on clothes than he probably should. Find him across the social world as @grimlay
