Inaugural True Colors Film Festival 2020 - One World, One Family

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 19 November 2020 - True Colors Film Festival (TCFF) runs online from 3 to 12 December 2020. Offering 30 award-winning features and short films, it is presented by The Nippon Foundation. All the films -- focusing on shared human experiences such as connection, hope, dreams, and transformation -- can be streamed for free.

Rediscovered and restored films

The Chess Game of the Wind (1976; Iran), screened only twice in '76 and presumed lost after the 1979 Iranian revolution, it was accidentally discovered in a junk shop in 2014 by the children of filmmaker Mohammed Reza Aslani. Still banned in Iran, it was smuggled into Paris, where restoration work was overseen by Martin Scorsese's non-profit organization, The Film Foundation's World Cinema Project. A family tale about a paraplegic heiress and predatory men.

Moral (1982; Philippines) is by Marilou Díaz-Abaya, known for her ability to spotlight socio-political issues from a feminist perspective. Restored by ABS-CBN in 2017 as part of a project to digitally remaster select Filipino films, Moral is about four women dealing with issues like rape, abortion and sexual freedom in a patriarchal society.

Award-winning films

Listen (2020; Portugal/United Kingdom), Portugal's Oscar Entry for Best International Film and winner of seven awards at the Venice Film Festival 2020. Migrant struggles, judgments and best intentions gone wrong.
