First Shot(s) X-Change is an inter-school, inter-cultural and truly interdisciplinary creative exchange program run by Republic Polytechnic and Rangsit University (Thailand).

For 10 days, 20-30 June, 2023, students from the School of Computer Art, School of Visual Communication and Design and School of Technology for the Arts enter into an interdisciplinary experiment to celebrate the theme “People, Culture and Interconnected-ness”.

Students were encouraged to transcend cultural barriers and disciplinary limitations in favour of meaningful experimentations. Everyone is impressed by the quality of engagement by both Thai and Singapore students, given the time limitations.

Thank you Wai Yan, Bezt, Khant Thu, May, Nero, Brendan, Pare and Son for being so committed both in the work as well as in the bravely reflective documentations.

The films produced range from intimate to outstanding, vulnerable to philosophical, and psychological, a film about ‘mothers’, a film about creative burnouts & mental wellness, and one about ‘passion, resilience and acceptance’.

Thank you for bravely stepping into the X with First Shot(s) - an xplosion, an xperiment and xperience.

What is First Shot(s)?

First Shot(s) Microfest is a platform to showcase raw talent and celebrate the first works of budding Visual Storytellers. Proudly presented by RP and School of Technology for the Arts, First Shot(s) is a Micro Film Festival run by students, showcasing the most outstanding work from last semester’s Visual Storytelling Module. Festival Objective :: Provide a platform for appreciation and early encouragement of visual storytellers :: Appreciation for Storytelling, beyond the technicality. Appreciation of work, and grooming of budding visual storytellers / filmmakers early in their Poly Life. :: Give Year 1s (& 2s) a chance to showcase raw talent - and bring together the ‘budding visual storytellers / filmmakers’ from different classes / cohorts. So they know each other, and can work together and collaborate earlier in their Poly Years, kick starting their filmmaking dreams. This year’s First Shot(s) Microfest is run by a team of 4 students. Eugene Au (Festival Manager), Isabel Lee (Festival Manager), Matthew Ong (Media Producer), and Hirfan (Designer), alongside Festival Founder / DMPD Lecturer Tzang M. who put together all the championing of this festival. This festival is not about polished works. We embrace the DIY ethic of just-do-it filmmaking. Many of the films in the official selection are raw and put together by people with no prior experience to filmmaking. But every film in the official selection is a work of passion, and has something to say. Skills can be learned. Experience can be acquired. But do you wait for your skills and experience to ‘be there’ before you make your first film? Or do you just take the first shot. Gather what you have and take the first shot. This is what we believe. You’ll never be completely ready. Just take the first shot.
