THE universal experiences of connection, hope, dreams, struggle and transformation; and the vision of a diverse and inclusive world make up the True Colors Film Festival (TCFF), which ongoing online until December 12.

A 10-day feast comprising about 30 award-winning full-length and short films, documentaries and dialogues from 15 countries, TCFF is the second in a series of digital events by True Colors Festival (TCF) presented by The Nippon Foundation (TNF).

All the films can be streamed online for free. 

Curated around the theme "One World, One Family”, the curatorial team is led by Singaporean film director Tan Bee Thiam, whose film Tiong Bahru Social Club premiered at the 25th Busan International Film Festival in October this year. 

Said Tan: “We hope that the carefully curated film selection will deepen our understanding of what an inclusive world can be and equip us with the vocabulary and sensitivity to discuss social issues such as disability, so that these dialogues are captured and represented well.”

The festival kicked off on December 3, which also happens to be the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. – The Vibes, December 4, 2020
