Singapore filmmakers say regional collabs all the more important in light of proposed US tariffs on foreign-made films
Singaporean filmmakers are intensifying efforts to bolster cross-border collaborations, even as the US intends to impose a 100 per cent tariff on foreign-made movies.

When producer Tan Si En heads to the Cannes Film Festival next week, she expects to see the industry coming together to figure out what's next. And a company that does virtual production says it will prioritise local, Asian co-productions to offset the loss of whatever US projects it had in mind. Muhammad Bahajjaj with more.
