Sole Sisters, a short film about a pair of shoes by writer-director Tom Zacharski and editor-cinematographer Sophia Phuong Dao, won Best Motion Picture at the annual short film competition, which is now in its third year. The team took home a cash prize of S$15,000, the biggest amount for a film-making competition in Singapore.

 

Organised by Cathay Organisation, the only movie exhibitor to organise an annual short film competition, this year’s theme was Sisters. It’s a nod to its first big-screen production in 15 years, Our Sister Mambo, which will stars Moses Lim, Michelle Chong and Siti Kalijah.

 

In conjunction with Cathay’s 79th anniversary celebrations, the short films have a running time of 79 seconds and a production deadline of 79 hours.
