"My Pledge" is a film competition organised by Temasek Polytechnic and supported by Nexus, in conjunction with National Day 2009. It hopes to promote deeper reflection of much-recited but seldom pondered-upon national pledge.
Submit your entry today and your short film cound be selected for screening at various NDP 09 and other platforms.
Winners also stand to win attractive prizes, including a chance to re-create their films with the guidance of industry professionals.
"My Pledge" is an inaugural project of the "Short Films @ SG" series which is spearheaded by Nexus and slated to be held annually. This series encourages Singaporeans to reflect, discuss, express and embrace our Singapore identity through film. At the same time, it serves as an incubator that cultivates budding film-makers so as to boost the local film scene.
The Theme - "My Pledge"
Some of us recite iur national pledge daily, but do we pause and ponder on its words? What does the pledge mean to us?
Crafted to provide a young nation with a foundation to build upon, the pledge has become the personal vow of each Singaporean.
Each line of the pledge guides us in our values and relief as Singaporeans.
Each line is significantly different, yet as a whole, the pledge symbolises the dreams of a young nation and lifts us to inspirational ideas.
Each line may hold a different meaning in our hearts, make us remember an incident that happened to us or inspire us to form stories that can represent them.
So come up with an idea for a short film that expresses your interpretation of the pledge. You can base your short film on just one line, a combination of the different lines or the whole pledge.
Express your personal interpretation of our National Pledge in film and win attractive prizes, including the opportunity to recreate your winning films with the guidance of industry professionals.
