For this year's event, Singapore writers Alfian Sa’at, Amanda Lee Koe, Dave Chua, Chow Teck Seng and Vanessa Ng will see their written works transformed into animations, put together by award-winning animators Tan Wei Keong, Samantha Seah, Henry and Harry Zhuang, Ang Qing Sheng and Darran Kuah. Each film portrays the animator’s unique adaptation styles and encourages greater appreciation for Singapore’s literature and animation.
David Lee, producer of Utter 2015: Head Trips, says, “The Filmic Eye is thrilled to be given this opportunity to work with the NAC and SWF to produce this year’s Utter 2015. The theme of Head Trips opens up infinite possibilities especially in the medium of animation, and we hope that audiences can join us in discovering the diverse range of Singaporean creative works and talents presented.”
The completed five animation shorts will be screened to the public for the first time at GV Suntec from 28 to 30 August in three sessions, each followed by an extended post-screening dialogue with both the original writers as well as the animation directors.
