Open Call Update
Cinemovement Lab VIII: Chiang Mai
2025 marks ten years since the launch of Cinemovement’s flagship film laboratory. Over the past decade, the platform has brought together over one hundred artists, filmmakers, and performance-makers across seven Asian cities for week-long creative encounters — where conversations, collaborations, and experiments have evolved into films, artworks, zines, and installations showcased in renowned international film festivals and museums.
In December 2026, the 8th edition of the Cinemovement Lab will take place in Chiang Mai, Thailand in partnership with Studio 88, an artist residency dedicated to creative exploration. This new chapter marks Cinemovement’s journey into its second decade, continuing our mission to bring artists together to explore collaboration between art disciplines.
For Cinemovement Lab VIII Chiang Mai, Cinemovement and Studio 88 will be co-sponsoring two scholarships for two Southeast Asian artists. The Scholarship will cover all expenses during the lab (including lab fees and production fee) except transport to Chiang Mai.
This opportunity is also available to those who had already applied to the Lab before the extension of the open call. Those who already submitted their applications are free to update their application if they wish by submitting a new Google Form.

Join us for 𝘈𝘴 𝘐 𝘐𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘔𝘺 𝘉𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘔𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨, a screening of work by filmmaker and artist 𝗘𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗮 𝗪𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶 [ @temporary_impactt ], co-presented with @cinemovement.sg ! And we’re thrilled to have 𝗝𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗺𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗮 [ @jeremykit ], Executive Director of Singapore International Film Festival in conversation with Wendi after the screening.
Formally trained as a dancer and choreographer, Wendi approaches her film practice with a strong choreographic impulse. Her work incorporates documentary, audiovisual essay, and expanded choreography, and is heavily influenced by her personal movements across Southeast Asia, traversing the amorphous boundaries between borders, languages, and histories.
The three films in the program range from a journey through Hong Kong’s disappearing urban landscapes, to a dancer’s reflections on memory and illness, to an intimate conversation between two filmmakers amidst a turbulent storm. Running through all three is Wendi’s careful and attuned treatment of movement, memory, and cinematic time.

🎬✨Last week at the Residence of France, Ambassador @stephen_march presented @jeremykit , General Manager of the Singapore International Film Festival, with the insignia of Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters.
A committed producer and a bridge-builder between artistic worlds, Jeremy perfectly embodies the spirit of this prestigious distinction, which recognises those who contribute to the influence of arts and culture in France and across the globe.
From his early years in Paris to his internationally acclaimed productions, his remarkable journey reflects the strength of the cinematic dialogue between France and Asia.
Congratulations Jeremy! 🇫🇷🎥🇸🇬
