ciNE65 is a competition for film enthusiasts to tell their Singapore story in a short film of not more than 3 minutes.
In the second season of ciNE65, the theme is "I'll Be There For You, Singapore".
Launched in July 2011 by Nexus, ciNE65 invites the public to tell their Singapore story. The
word "cine" means film while the number "65" connotes all things Singaporean – from our year of independence in 1965 to our international dialing code (+65). ciNE65 hopes to harness the potential of short films to touch the hearts and minds of Singaporeans.

One of my favs is titled Childhood. The boy in this story, Rayden is so cute, and what they depicted is a typical Singaporean child's life nowadays, which is full of enrichment classes, and no fun having a kiasu parent. Even though I could not vote for this one (it wasn't shortlisted), I still enjoyed watching it.
I did vote for Priceless. It impressed me because it was not only very well made but it was super touching and had an unexpected ending. I love how the music just amplified the emotions too. I voted this for "favourite film" and "favourite actor".
As for "favourite actress", I chose to vote for the young actress in the film Saga Seeds. Saga Seeds is about an old woman who reminisces about her youth during the Japanese Occupation. Very emotionally charged film... amazing what they can achieve in just 3 minutes!
