This is the first — and quite possibly the last — Raffles Crew Film Showcase.

To clarify: this is the first-ever showcase by Raffles Crew, one of the newly merged CCAs formed in 2025 from the union of Audio Visual Unit and Raffles Film Society. Titled “Facets”, this year’s film showcase proudly presents six original films from filmmakers past and present – including two thesis films by the final batch of Raffles Film Society.

There was a palpable buzz in the PAC on the 30th of May: friends and family have come together in anticipation to watch what has been in the works for many months. As the lights dimmed and a pre-show montage of the graduating batch of Film Soc played, a hush fell over the audience, all eyes fixed on the screen as they awaited the first thesis film.

What would you do if you were locked in a room with a zombie?

That was one of the questions Raffles Film Society set out to answer on 28 July 2023, during their annual film showcase.

Following the theme “Memento Mori, Memento Vita”, the showcase focused on remembering the inevitability of death whilst remembering life. The films and documentaries explored this wide spectrum of themes – from exploring Singapore’s hidden gems to literal death. This evening was a culmination of the Y6s’ hard work, for them to finally present their passion projects to an audience.
