About the Diploma
Walking down the red carpet at the Oscars may not be a wild dream for students from the Diploma in Film, Sound & Video (FSV).
After all, Anthony Chen, the first Singaporean to win at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in France, was from FSV. His contemporary, Boo Junfeng, was also the first local filmmaker to have his debut feature film premiere at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival’s International Critics’ Week.

In your final year, you have the option of working on your own film project, undertaking an industry project, or embarking on a six-month internship in the film and media industry.
Making Their Mark
FSV graduates have gone on to make their mark at MediaCorp, started successful local production companies such as Upside Down Concepts and Oak3 Films and worked on international hits such as Spider-Man 3 and Iron Man 2. They have also produced programmes that air worldwide on the National Geographic Channel, Discovery Channel and BBC.
