The Singapore International Film Festival has brought in a new leadership team ahead of its upcoming 31st edition, currently scheduled to kick off in late November. "SGIFF has restructured its festival team to better position itself for the challenges facing film festivals in the future," the cinema event said in a statement.
Emily Hoe, a veteran regional arts manager, has been appointed executive director of the festival. She replaces Yuni Hadi, who had overseen the event since 2014.
Kuo Ming-Jung, meanwhile, has been promoted to artistic director from the position of programming director, a role she assumed just last year.
