The Singapore International Film Festival will conclude its 37th edition on November 1 with a screening of "Vintage Violence," a crime caper directed by Eugene Kotlyarenko that stars Cole Sprouse and Mizuhara Kiko. The film centers on a livestream-era crime story and marks the return of a standalone closing night ceremony, a format the festival last used in 2014. "Vintage Violence" previously premiered in the Midnight Madness section at the Toronto Film Festival, according to Variety.
The decision to restore a dedicated closing film represents a shift for SGIFF, which had not featured a stand-alone festival closing in nearly a decade. The selection of Kotlyarenko's film signals the festival's appetite for contemporary genre cinema that engages with modern technology and streaming culture. Sprouse, known for his television work, and Japanese actress Kiko headline the production.
SGIFF's 37th edition will draw to a close with this closing night presentation, positioning "Vintage Violence" as the festival's final major screening before the event concludes.
