SPECIAL PROGRAMMES
1–24 Jul Painting with Light: Festival of International Films on Art is an annual film festival presented by National Gallery Singapore, dedicated to films on artistic practices, institutions of art and moments in art history that resonate today. The theme for the 2022 edition of the festival, “Interventions in Space,” speaks about the ways in which artists interrupt established patterns of being in their worlds. Accordingly, festival programming will look at the work of artists who engage with beliefs about indigeneity, modernity, class relations, government, art and culture, and other determinants of social structure. The fifth edition will run from 1 to 24 July 2022, returning in a hybrid format with online screenings on the microsite and on-site screenings. It will present over 50 feature-length and short films both online and in various spaces across the Gallery. Visitors can also look forward to the many post-screening dialogues and guided exhibition tours with curators, filmmakers, artists and industry specialists.
