The programme aims to promote Singapore as an attractive destination for international visitors through the effective medium of movies and television. Through FSS, each film-maker or broadcaster may be granted financial support, on a case-by-case basis and/or project facilitation and information provision. Each project is evaluated with specific focus on how the film or programme will uniquely showcase Singapore's locations.For details, please visit the website at www.stb.gov.sg.
