The Filmic Eye is a film education initiative started in 2013, focusing on bringing talks, workshops and screenings to schools, public libraries and community spaces. TFE believes in the potential of films in illuminating social, cultural, historical and political concerns. Their aim is to encourage and inspire audiences and participants to view films as more than just entertainment, thus recognizing them as educational tools, cultural artifacts and modes of aesthetical expression that can help us to understand who we are, the world we live in, and everything in between.
Some of their recent projects include the theatrical distribution of the award-winning Taiwanese eco-documentary “Beyond Beauty: Taiwan from Above” in Singapore in 2014, producing the 2015 edition of Utter that focused on the adaptation of Singapore poetry and short stories into animated shorts, and Silver Films 2016 that featured both commissioned and curated films with silver themes.
