Event summary

Highlights

19th edition of Singapore's longest-running student-led film festival
Theme: 'Under The Hood: Automobility In Cinema'
Screening 4K restorations of 'The Wages of Fear' and 'Crash'
Opening with George Miller's 'Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior'

Organized by undergraduates from the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), the festival features screenings at Oldham Theatre and Golden Village Cineleisure. The 2026 program focuses on the car as a cultural symbol rather than just a vehicle, presenting road trips and car chases that have defined the cinematic medium.

The lineup includes the opening title "Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior" and new 4K restorations of the 1953 thriller "The Wages of Fear" and David Cronenberg's "Crash." Other selections include Central Asian drama "Luna Papa," the Filipino film "Perfumed Nightmare," the hybrid documentary "Summer Drift," and the Chinese road movie "Kaili Blues."

Ticketing options cater to various levels of attendance, including individual screening tickets, a three-film "Third Wheel" bundle, and a "Race Weekend" pass for access to all seven screenings. Tickets for the three-day event are scheduled for release starting September 29.
