    Student Leader, Social Impact Film Screening

  • "As a person who has little to no experience in filming and editing, I am so glad I took up this programme to learn tips and tricks for beginners to create their own documentary film. The unique part of the programme is that it wasn't just us sitting down and listening but also given the opportunity to go out and film and create. Big thank you to Air Amber and Our Grandfather Story for making this possible."

  • "I watched the film about the Somali bandy team. As a sportsperson myself, this film really resonated with me. This film reminded me of the joy of sport and it did a good illustrating the power that sport has to unify people and communities. It also [highlighted] the prejudice that the Somalis faced and how it took only a few people to break the cycle of hate. All in all, this film was empowering and inspirational not just in sport but life in general, and how we can be more inclusive."

  • "It was really a big eye opener for me and really related to what is going on in our society on a day to day basis regarding racism, secret societies, and many more. It wasn't just us watching the film but understanding and opening up our minds to start thinking of solutions for our society as well. I realised that WE, the people on the ground, are the ones that have to start.

    Yuva, Social Impact Film Screening

  • "The film 'Nice People' was a very enjoyable and motivational film for me. This film taught me that I need to be kind and nice to people at all time no matter what race or colour we are. The activities that [were conducted] before the film was a very good ice breaker. I genuinely felt that everyone got comfortable with each other as it led us to laugh at one another with our funny actions (e.g. 'What's Your Flava')."

    Joey, Social Impact Film Screening

  • "I gained many insights and learnt more about filmmaking. Some examples include the various angles of filmmaking and composition. I also learnt to craft stories to influence people. Lastly, what I liked about the workshop was that it is short and sweet but sufficient enough for us to handle the filmmaking process and the information provided was very relevant."
