🎓Introducing our Plenary Speaker, Chen-Hsi Wong.

Chen-Hsi Wong is a filmmaker and Associate Professor at the School of Art, Design and Media, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Her first feature film Innocents premiered in competition at the Rome International Film Festival and won Best Director - Asian New Talents, at the Shanghai International Film Festival. Her next feature film, City of Small Blessings, developed at Torino Film Lab, Cannes l’Atelier, and the Venice Production Bridge, and premiered at the Singapore International Film Festival in 2024. Her short films include Dev Null,Conversations on Sago Lane, and Who Loves the Sun. In addition to major film festivals, her films have also screened at the Director’s Guild of America (New York and Los Angeles), Anthology Film Archives, and La Cinémathèque Française, and are held by the Asian Film Archive and Objectifs Centre for Film and Photography in Singapore.

Her practice-led research examines how narrative cinema engages contested national histories, territory, memory and identity. Working between narrative documentary and fiction practice, she approaches filmmaking as a means of expressing direct individual encounters with national agendas and spatial transformations. She is Provost’s Chair in Filmmaking at ADM, where she previously served as Acting School Chair (2022–2024). She sits on the advisory committee for the Singapore Film Commission and several national review panels in the arts. She holds an MFA in Film Production from the University of Southern California.
