Cole Sprouse stars in Eugene Kotlyarenko's crime caper "Vintage Violence," which will close the 37th Singapore International Film Festival on Nov. 1. The film also features Mizuhara Kiko.
The screening marks the return of a stand-alone festival closing ceremony. SGIFF last held a dedicated closing night in 2014. The festival will proceed without a closing film between 2015 and this year, according to the structure now changing.
"Vintage Violence" premiered in the Midnight Madness section at the Toronto Film Festival. Kotlyarenko's film centers on a livestream-era crime plot, positioning it within contemporary technological settings.
The festival's decision to restore a formal closing night signals a return to traditional festival programming structures after nearly a decade. The selection of "Vintage Violence" for this role underscores the festival's interest in genre cinema and contemporary storytelling approaches.
SGIFF's 37th edition runs through the Nov. 1 closing date. The festival operates as a major showcase for international cinema in the Asia-Pacific region.
