Film faculty member Liao Jiekai won the Best Director in the Southeast Asian Short Film category at the Singapore International Film Festival Silver Screen Awards this year. 

According to Channel News Asia Online, his 12-minute dance-inspired film, “The Mist”, was praised by the jury as a film that “successfully translates collective memory in a poetic way” through sound and image, “without falling into experimental film pretension”.

Congratulations, Jiekai!
