Asian Film Archive has been at work preserving, restoring, and screening important Asian films for audiences.
In their debut podcast series for SGCR, they discuss the journey from their start as a non-profit in 2005 to their current space as a refuge for Asian cinema, where spooky folklore can be found alongside tales of a Kazakh boyband, along with Singapore’s only martial arts film.
