Design Film Festival coming in September

REGARDLESS of whether you are a film or design buff, do keep yourself available in early September, as A Design Film Festival (DFF) makes a return.

The festival features screenings of a curated collection of 12 films, dedicated to architecture, fashion, photography, street art, motion graphics, technology and the subcultures of design. This year, DFF will run from Sept 5 to 14, at Shaw Theatres Lido. This is the fourth edition of the festival, since it began in 2010. It skipped a year in 2012.

Festival producer Germaine Chong says there was nothing like DFF when it was started. "We wanted to create an event that even non-designers could participate in. We learnt that non-designers are interested in design, but are intimidated by it."
