Celebrating the spirit of independent filmmaking in Southeast Asia and reflecting the region’s diversity, the Festival features films from Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Taking a co-curated approach, SAM once again collaborates with independent film curators Philip Cheah and Teo Swee Leng for this edition’s film selection, presenting a total of 20 films. The films Chasing Waves (2015) and Fundamentally Happy (2015) make their world premieres at this Festival, while K’na the Dreamweaver (2014) and Riddles of My Homecoming (2013) and Sparks (2014) are international premieres showing outside their home countries for the first time. Opening and Closing Films SEAFF opens with the film The Last Executioner (2014), directed by Tom Waller, which tells the story of Chavoret Jarubon - the last person in Thailand whose job was to execute death row prisoners with a machine gun. The film stars Vithaya Pansringarm in the role of Chavoret, for which he won Best Actor at the Shanghai Film Festival in 2014. He is also internationally known for his role in the 2013 crime drama Only God Forgives alongside Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Scott Thomas. The closing film, NOVA (2014) by Malaysian director Nik Amir Mustapha, is a tale about the madcap adventure of a group of friends on a quest to prove that UFOs are real.

    Since 1988, the European Commission and the Fundació Mies van der Rohe of Barcelona have been jointly responsible for the biennial European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture - Mies van der Rohe Award. The proposals made for each prize submitted by the nominators – the experts, the national architects associations and the advisory committee – are used by the Jury to arrive at its decisions on the Prize Winner, the Emerging Architect Winner and a broad selection of shortlisted works to disseminate European architecture by means of catalogues, exhibitions, lectures and debates. In 2013, the 13th Award coincided with its 25th anniversary. In the course of these 25 years, the Fundació has organised thirteen Awards and built up a database of nearly 2,500 nominated works, one of the largest archives on contemporary architecture, consisting of photographs, drawings, digital and audiovisual materials and models. The 14th Award received 420 nominated works, from amongst which the Jury members shortlisted 40 projects. Five finalist works competed for the Prize, and one Emerging Architect was chosen.
