IMDA approves 50 more Teochew screenings of Dear You
Singapore's IMDA has approved 50 additional screenings of the Teochew-language film 'Dear You' following high public demand. This decision reflects a shift toward more flexible policies regarding dialect films in local cinemas.
Why it matters
The move signals a potential change in Singapore's long-standing bilingual policy, which has historically prioritized Mandarin over other Chinese dialects.
Clover Films and GV submitted a request to the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) for approval for up to 50 more such sessions.
